Option 1 -> This directly aligns with the passage which states Uma wrote songs down "to lessen the pain of not being able to sing it" - alleviating her anguish about her inability to sing.
Option 2 -> The passage mentions writing as merely the means, not the end goal; she wasn't practicing writing but coping with not singing.
Option 3 -> No indication in the text that compilation was her purpose; it was an emotional coping mechanism, not a collection project.
Option 4 -> The text clearly states "Uma could not sing" as a fixed condition, not a temporary situation where she plans to learn later.
Hence, Option 1 -> The passage explicitly reveals that Uma's habit stemmed from her inability to sing and the emotional pain it caused her. Writing down songs was her way of processing and reducing this anguish, not about improving writing skills, creating collections, or future singing aspirations -> correct
