Why would it be wrong to treat hearing as only a biological act in Evelyn's case?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because she receives sound through sensation, practice and bodily experience
The governing concept is the difference between ordinary hearing and a broader experience of listening. Evelyn loses much of her hearing, but she does not lose her ability to understand or perform music. With Ron Forbes's guidance, she discovers that vibrations can be received through different parts of the body. Practice teaches her to distinguish pitch, rhythm and intensity through sensation. Option A is correct because it includes the body, repeated training and sensory interpretation. Options B, C and D are false: Evelyn values music, does not depend only on writing, and performs successfully on major stages.
