A)Krajiek is probably going to be a villain in the story.

Explanation:

The narrator, described Krajiek in the novel as follows:

"Peter was the Bohemian family's interpreter. He was like a mosquito that always hung around and wouldn't leave. He was a conman."

For the narrator to described Krajiek has a conman shows that, he's probably going to be the villain of the story.

Also, describing Krajiek as a mosquito that always hung around and wouldn't leave, means that, Krajiek is a character that not only cheat; by eating from where he did not work, but will ensure he finishes the whole food or resources before moving away.

In short, while he cheats and acts dubious, he is greedy to the level, that he does not know when to stop until, he finishes his prey.

Hence, the description point towards the fact that Krajiek is probably going to be the villain of the story.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
