Answer 2

To help find the theme of a story, the reader must determine the main idea

Option (A)

Explanation:

• Theme is defined as a main idea or an underlying meaning of a literary work that is stated indirectly or directly.
• The theme of a story is what the author tries to transmit— the central idea of the story in other words. Short stories typically have only one theme , while novels usually have several themes.
• Two types of themes found in literary works are major and minor themes. A major theme is an idea that a writer repeats, making it the most significant concept in the work in his literary work. A minor theme , however, refers to an idea that briefly appears in a work and gives way to another small theme.
• A writer addresses subjects by various means in a literary work. An author will talk about a theme through his main character's feelings about the topic he chose to write about. Themes are also expressed in various characteristic thoughts and conversations. In addition, experiences of the main character in a literary work provide us with an idea of the theme of the story. Finally, the acts and events that occur in a story have a bearing on the theme.
