Read the passage and choose the option that best captures its central idea: A philosopher once said, “Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards.” Many people get frustrated by things beyond their control—bad weather, traffic, or even the passage of time. But just as rain follows the laws of nature, many events in life unfold according to forces we cannot bend to our will. To be at peace, we must understand that our power lies not in changing the world, but in choosing how we respond to it. What is the central idea of the passage?

Option A is partially true—the rain is used as a metaphor—but the main idea isn’t just about metaphors. Option B touches on the theme of lack of control, but misses the second part of the message: how to respond. Option C best sums up the passage: it captures both the acceptance of external events and the importance of our response to them. Option D distorts the message slightly—it's not just about disappointments but all uncontrollable things. Option E misinterprets the passage. It’s not about studying natural laws, but accepting them and focusing on our attitude.
