Read the excerpt from 'The Secrets of Isle Royale': 'Maya carefully turned the fragile pages of the 1888 diary. The keeper, Captain Thomas, wrote of freezing gales, solitary nights, and how keeping the lantern lit gave hope to distant sailors navigating dangerous shoals. Maya looked out at the dark lake waters and felt a newfound respect for the silent sacrifices made by those who worked before her. She understood that courage often meant staying steadfast in isolation.' Which statement best expresses a central theme of the passage?

Isolation always leads to loneliness and failure. Understanding history allows us to appreciate the quiet dedication and sacrifices of others. Lighthouses are no longer necessary in modern maritime shipping. Living on an island is preferable to living in a busy city.

Correct Answer:

Understanding history allows us to appreciate the quiet dedication and sacrifices of others.
