3. Which statement best expresses a theme in the poem? A. A strong support system is necessary to overcome adversity. B.

This question is about the poem "We Grow Accustomed to the Dark" by Emily Dickinson.

The statement which best expresses a theme in the poem is:

C. It takes time and courage to endure unfamiliar circumstances.

Explanation:

[...]

The Bravest – grope a little –

And sometimes hit a Tree

Directly in the Forehead –

But as they learn to see –

Either the Darkness alters –

Or something in the sight

Adjusts itself to Midnight –

And Life steps almost straight.

Above we have the two final stanzas of the poem. The first one speaks of having the courage to face a new and unfamiliar situation. Those who are brave will try, even if it means to take risks and to get hurt at first. The last one speaks of time, of how we get used to something that was once different, even scary. The poem itself is in general alluding to resilience, to how we can adapt, adjust, become stronger and wiser when facing difficulties. Having that in mind, I believe the best option to be letter C. It takes time and courage to endure unfamiliar circumstances.
