Question 6 of 24

In a story, a musician must choose between committing herself to a life of
playing music but earning little money, and getting a job that does not fulfill
her but allows her to live a more comfortable life.
Which two literary themes most likely apply to this story?
A. The pursuit of individual happiness and the value of creativity
B. Reliance on talent and the struggle to improve one's skills
C. Difficult choices and the responsibility to others
D. The value of community and the individual struggle to pursue
talent

Answer 1

A. The pursuit of individual happiness and the value of creativity.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in the question, the proposed story poses a conflict between what the protagonist wants and what she needs. Being a musician is a low-income work that will make her life hard but at the same time, doing a job means sacrificing her musical career.

The two conflicting interests in her life where she either choose a life of happiness by pursuing her musical interests or doing a job that can give her a comfortable life but without her music give her a dilemma. And in plotting a story, the themes will most likely focus on the pursuit of individual happiness and the value of creativity.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
