Question

Which sentence from the passage shows how actions of a character develop the theme?

A. He now had to make a decision, a choice between two dreams.
B. He knew he did not have to make a decision today, but as he glanced down at the puddle of disappointment at his feet, he knew what he must do.
C. Nicholas stood up, wiped the water of disappointment from the floor, grabbed his bag, and never looked back.
D. He was on a road to Yellow Mountain University where he would create new dreams and maybe play a little club or intramural ball on the side.

Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

''He now had to make a decision, a choice between two dreams.'' is the sentence that is showing how the actions of a character develop the theme since after this sentence readers will expect and want to know what will happen. They know that the character must decide and do something about his problem.

• B is an incorrect answer because in this sentence it says that the character will not make that decision today so the readers will have a feeling like the character would not do anything about it.

• C and D are blocking the theme, they are not developing it since the character in both sentences is wanting to forget about the situation.
