Read the passage: Clara sat at her wooden desk, staring at the scattered gears of her grandfather's brass clock. The clock had stopped ticking three years ago, and two clockmakers had already declared it unfixable. Clara gently wiped away a speck of dust, adjusted a tiny copper spring, and tested the gears once more. Hours passed as she tried different arrangements. Finally, with a soft click, the pendulum began to swing, and a steady tick-tock filled the quiet room. Which statement best describes the theme of the passage?

Old items should always be replaced with new electronics. Patience and persistence can solve seemingly impossible problems. Working quickly is the most important part of repairing machinery. Grandfathers always prefer silence over ticking clocks.
