Which detail best supports the theme of resilience in the narrative?

The idea being tested is how a story reveals resilience through what a character does in the face of difficulty. The best detail is a moment when the character overcomes a setback and keeps moving forward. That shows resilience because it demonstrates a deliberate response to adversity: choosing to push on, adapt, or recover rather than give up. It captures growth in action and helps the reader see the character’s determination. Ending with quitting suggests surrender, not resilience. A description of the setting without action doesn’t reveal how the character handles problems. An unresolved conflict leaves readers without witnessing how the character would respond or grow.
