Read the passage: For years, Mateo farmed the same rocky field his grandfather had cleared, coaxing potatoes from soil everyone else had given up on. When the drought came, his neighbors sold their land and left. Mateo stayed, hauling water by hand until his back ached, and at harvest he found the plants had pushed roots deeper than anyone thought possible, yielding a small but stubborn crop. What theme does the passage develop?

Farming is more difficult than any other livelihood. Perseverance in the face of hardship can yield meaningful results. Droughts are caused by people abandoning the land. Modern technology would have saved the harvest.

Correct Answer:

Perseverance in the face of hardship can yield meaningful results.
