Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage describes Helen Keller's state before education: she compares herself to a ship in fog without compass/sounding - line, longing for "light" (education/communication). Option A is incorrect as there's no fear of not communicating with the teacher. Option B is wrong as the teacher doesn't refuse to communicate. Option D is incorrect as there's no confusion about whether to communicate. Option C fits: she's frustrated by the challenges of learning to communicate (the "fog" of not knowing how to reach the "harbour" of communication, longing for light/education to overcome this).

Answer:

C. The frustration Helen feels about the challenges presented by learning to communicate
