Expalanation of the title
The answer is c .
The reason I think is as follows. On the one hand, with the help of some people nearby, Ryan tired his best to help build a single well in somewhere in Africa.
[句式分析] have trouble (in) doing sth / with sth 意为“做某事有困难”，spoken by his teacher 为过去分词短语作“后置定语”（成分）； 句子“that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water”.为“同位语”从句， 解释名词 “the words.”

1. Ryan's good qualities: be courageous and persevering with insight.
2. Ryan's qualities I admire most: Ryan’s story makes me understand that perseverance makes the impossible possible. As far as I’m concerned, success comes to anyone who insist working with amazing perseverance. Instead, lack of perseverance can only result in failure or disappointment. We see this in our life. Out-standing athletes spend almost all their time taking exercise. Their endurance is beyond imagination. The same is true of businessmen who work day and night for the development of companies. Even when we fall behind others in certain fields, we will find that they don’t give up their targets, in which situation their continuous efforts are still admired by us.
