Read this excerpt from The Miracle Worker.

ANAGNOS: So. You are no longer our pupil, we throw you into the world, a teacher. If the child can be taught. No one expects you to work miracles, even for twenty five dollars a month. Now, in this envelope a loan, for the railroad, which you will repay me when you have a bank account. But in this box, a gift. With our love.

(ANNIE opens the small box he extends, and sees a garnet ring. She looks up, blinking, and down.)

Which of these statements provides the best summary of the scene?

C Anagnos presents Annie with a loan and a ring that is worth more than she will earn in six months of teaching.
D Anagnos shows his generosity as he gives his wise advice and his expensive present to Annie.
