Explanation:

To solve these text - dependent questions, we assume the text is the poem "The Rose That Grew from Concrete" (even though the full text isn't provided here, we can use common knowledge about this poem).

Question 1 (Part A)

• Option A: The poem's main idea isn't about all living things needing support. It's about a rose (a symbol of a person) overcoming a harsh environment (concrete, symbolizing difficult circumstances). So A is incorrect.
• Option B: The poem doesn't focus on learning from failures. It's about overcoming difficulties to succeed. So B is incorrect.
• Option C: The rose (representing a person) grows from concrete (a difficult situation) and succeeds. This matches the idea that people can overcome difficulties and succeed. So C is correct.
• Option D: The poem uses the rose as a symbol of a person, not to compare nature and people. So D is incorrect.

• Option A: Just introducing the rose doesn't support the idea of overcoming difficulties. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: "learned 2 walk without having feet" shows the rose (person) overcoming a physical - like limitation, which supports the idea of overcoming difficulties to succeed. So B is correct.
• Option C: This is a celebratory line, not a detail that shows the overcoming process. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: This is about lack of care, not about overcoming difficulties. So D is incorrect.

• Option A: The speaker doesn't ask questions about the rose. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: The speaker doesn't think the rose is not real. The rose is a symbol of a real - life struggle. So B is incorrect.
• Option C: The speaker is not pitying the rose; they are admiring it for its ability to overcome. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: The speaker is impressed by the rose's ability to grow from concrete and explains its admirable qualities (like walking without feet, growing against the odds). So D is correct.

Answer:

C. People can overcome difficulties and succeed.
