Question

Once upon a time, a princess was locked in a castle. She waited and waited for someone to come by and rescue her. That was how it happened in fairy tales, wasn't it?
One day, as she gazed out the window waiting for her handsome prince, she noticed that the castle wall was not smooth but instead had stones jutting out that a person could use to carefully climb down. She did it that night. It was simple, really. After that, she became the sort of person who got things done.

What are two themes of this text?

A. No one should be overly dependent on others, and it's better to fail at reaching a goal than not to try at all.
B. You should trust your instincts whenever possible, and you can usually reach your goals if you act strategically enough.
C. It's best to rely on your own skill rather than waiting for others, and if you observe your surroundings carefully, you'll usually find something useful.
D. Loneliness is not permanent, and getting things done is an accomplishment to be proud of.
