In the following passage, the protagonist, Ada, first refuses to attend the village meeting, then later volunteers to lead the fundraiser:
"Ada stared at the empty chair, her mind a storm of doubts. She turned away, muttering that the council's plans were futile. Yet, when the children gathered, their hopeful eyes reminded her of the promise she once made, and she stepped forward, voice steady, to organize the aid."
Identify two distinct actions that reveal Ada's character development, and infer the underlying motivation that drives her change of heart.
Answer Options
