In 1888, Helen Keller attended which school?

• A. Perkins School for the Blind
• B. Harvard University
• C. Juilliard School
• D. Brown University

Answer: (A)

The event tests knowledge of where Helen Keller began formal schooling after her deaf-blindness. In 1888, she attended Perkins School for the Blind in Massachusetts, a pioneering institution dedicated to educating blind students and teaching adaptive communication methods. This is the setting where Keller began formal instruction under the guidance of Anne Sullivan and other Perkins staff, laying the foundation for her literacy and learning.

Harvard University isn’t the right fit for that year—Keller later pursued higher education at Radcliffe College (affiliated with Harvard), not at Harvard itself, and not in 1888. Juilliard is a performing arts school with no connection to Keller’s early education, and Brown University has no link to her schooling.
