Read the passage below and answer the question. In her early days at the conservatory, Elena played with technical perfection, hitting every note with mathematical precision while her face remained impassive. However, after a summer spent isolated in the mountain valley listening to the unpredictable rhythms of nature, her concert performance changed. She leaned into the violin, allowing minor imperfections to bleed into a performance raw with grief and wonder. The audience sat spellbound, sensing that she was no longer merely executing a score, but revealing her soul. How does Elena's character develop across the passage?

She abandons her passion for music after failing to achieve technical accuracy. She shifts from a rigid, mechanical performer to an emotionally expressive artist. She becomes increasingly focused on winning approval from music critics. She rejects classical music in favor of folk melodies learned in the mountains.

Correct Answer:

She shifts from a rigid, mechanical performer to an emotionally expressive artist.
