To determine which sentence best supports the correct answer to Question 7, we need to analyze the content and context of each option: A. This sentence emphasizes the importance of perseverance and defining oneself through challenges rather than successes. It suggests a theme of resilience. B. This sentence talks about seizing an opportunity at UCF, indicating a proactive approach to personal growth and success. C. This sentence mentions the speaker's birth condition but does not elaborate on it, focusing instead on the condition itself rather than the implications or feelings surrounding it. D. This sentence expresses a sense of community among individuals with birth defects and advocates for mutual support and recognition of abilities, emphasizing inclusivity and empowerment. To choose the best supporting sentence, we should consider the main theme of Question 7. If the question relates to themes of resilience, community, or empowerment, then: - If Question 7 is about resilience and personal growth, **A** would be the best choice. - If it focuses on seizing opportunities, **B** would be more appropriate. - If it addresses the experience of living with a birth defect and the need for support, **D** would be the strongest option. Without knowing the specific context of Question 7, **D** seems to encapsulate a broader theme of community and support, which may resonate well with questions about identity and overcoming challenges. Thus, the best supporting sentence is likely **D**.
