A young teacher in a difficult school is frustrated by the

conditions in which his students learn and becomes
convinced that his efforts to help his students learn and
improve their lives are wasted. He spends many years
feeling this way, until one day, a former student returns to
tell him that his teaching was inspirational and has
enabled the student to go on to a successful life.
Which statement best describes how the themes of this passage interact?
OA. The results of one's actions are not always immediately seen, and
change happens in small increments.
B. Community is more important than individual achievement, and
greed takes many forms, some of them unseen.
OC. It is important to maintain perspective on what really matters, and
people often turn crises to their own advantage.
OD. Playing God is dangerous, and even the things that one thinks are desirable sometimes turn out not to be.

Answer: A. The results of one's actions are not always immediately seen, and change happens in small increments.

Step-by-step explanation:

The young teacher didn't immediately see the impact he had made on a previous student, until years later. (As evidently stated in the answer choice.)

Not 100% sure, but I am pretty positive A is the correct answer.
