How does Omar's attitude toward education change over time?

• A. He remains uncertain and skeptical about education.
• B. He believes education is a waste of time.
• C. He moves from uncertainty to viewing education as a lifeline and path to a better future.
• D. He pursues education only to please others.

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is how experiences and opportunities can change a person’s view of learning over time. Omar starts with doubt about education because of the instability and fear that come with refugee life—school seems uncertain and not worth the risk. But as he encounters school, supportive teachers, and real benefits from learning, he begins to see education as a lifeline—something that can open doors, provide skills, and offer a path to a better future for him and his sister. That shift from skepticism to seeing education as a source of hope and possibility is why this option is the best. It isn’t that he stays uncertain, views schooling as a waste, or only does it to please others; his attitude grows into believing that education can change his life.
