Meanwhile the desire to express myself grew. The few

signs I used became less and less adequate, and my
failures to make myself understood were invariably
followed by outbursts of passion. I felt as if invisible
hands were holding me, and I made frantic efforts to free
myself. I struggled - not that struggling helped matters,
but the spirit of resistance was strong within me; I
generally broke down in tears and physical exhaustion.

Answer:

It is credible because Helen Keller is the author, writing about her own life.

Step-by-step explanation:

An autobiography is a book about a person's life written by that person. Here, Helen Keller describes her own feelings. She doesn't say anything unbelievable, anything that might get us to question the credibility of this excerpt. In fact, this excerpt is credible because Helen Keller wrote this about herself. If someone else claimed that Keller felt a certain way, we'd need to question that, because we need to ask ourselves: How can someone know how exactly someone else is feeling? This is why the second option is the correct one.
