theme

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each quotation and match it to the theme by understanding the key idea of each:

1. Quotation: "How can you explain sight on a world where no one has ever seen and where there is no need of eyes?"

• Key idea: Talks about explaining a concept (sight) in a context where the experience of seeing is non - existent. This relates to the theme "Language depends on shared experiences" because if there's no shared experience of sight, explaining it becomes difficult, showing the dependence of language on shared experiences.

2. Quotation: "She realized with a fresh shock that it was not Mrs. Whitcomb herself that she was seeing at all.... What she saw was only the game Mrs. Whitcomb was playing."

• Key idea: Focuses on the impact of appearance (the "game" Mrs. Whitcomb was playing as what the character saw). This matches the theme "Appearances can be deceiving" as the character's perception of Mrs. Whitcomb was not of the real person but of a deceptive appearance.

3. Quotation: "She had been so certain that the moment she found her father everything would be all right.... She would no longer be responsible for anything."

• Key idea: Is about the comfort the character expects from depending on her father (not being responsible anymore). This corresponds to the theme "It can be comforting to depend on others".

Final Matches:

• "How can you explain sight on a world where no one has ever seen and where there is no need of eyes?" → "Language depends on shared experiences"
• "She realized with a fresh shock that it was not Mrs. Whitcomb herself that she was seeing at all.... What she saw was only the game Mrs. Whitcomb was playing." → "Appearances can be deceiving"
• "She had been so certain that the moment she found her father everything would be all right.... She would no longer be responsible for anything." → "It can be comforting to depend on others"

If we were to present the answers in a table (for clarity):
