Read the following passage:

Lydia often struggled in her art class. Ever since she was little, she hoped to become an incredible painter. Yet, every time she tried to paint anything she would often create a mess of paint splashes on the page rather than the centerpieces of fruit her teacher would display. Lydia started to feel saddened by her lack of progress. One day though, her teacher took the entire class to the local art museum. At first, Lydia saw the beautiful works of Monet and thought to herself that she would never be able to create such clear images on a canvas. A few rooms later, however, she then began to see the works of Picasso that contained images of abstract paintings that were just like hers. She quickly realized that art doesn’t have to all be the same for people to appreciate it.

Answer 1

Im trying to figure out the same answer

Answer 2

Changing our perception of a situation can help us persevere.

Step-by-step explanation:

In my opinion, Lydia tried and realized the fact that we don't always need to be in the same style of art and that we can also have our own style of art for success, which I think that she had changed her way of thinking about success in other words changed her perception.

If we chose "Too much ambiition can lead to negative results" it won't make sense.

Same goes with "A person needs determination if they wish to find the truth" because she didn't actually find the truth instead she had to realize the truth. The other themes won't also match.

So, I think that the last one " Changing our perception of a situation can help us persevere." is the correct theme for the passage and the most suitable theme for the passage.

Thanks for reading my answer and opinion!
