Which sentence best states the conflict revealed in this passage from Helen Keller's The Story of My Life?
Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed
as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great
ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore
with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with
beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship
before
my education began, only I was without compass or
sounding-line, and had no way
of knowing how near the
harbour was. "Light! give me light!" was the wordless cry of
my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very
hour.
