photograph of helen keller (left) and anne sullivan (right) in 1898.

Explanation:

The original sentence describes work that seemed like drudgery, but love made it easier, turning hardship into pleasure. This matches the idea that even though the workload was demanding, Sullivan was satisfied because she enjoyed helping Keller, as her positive feeling (love/joy in helping) transformed the difficult work. The other options do not align: the first misrepresents the work as easy, the second focuses on Keller's desire not Sullivan's experience, and the third links Keller's learning ease to Sullivan's help rather than the emotional transformation of drudgery.

Answer:

D. Despite the demanding workload, Sullivan was satisfied because she enjoyed helping Keller.
