Question

Which sentence most clearly describes a theme?

O A. Death reminds everyone of what counts in life.
O B. The rich description makes the setting come to life.
O C. Luke finds out that Darth Vader is really his father.
O D. The clash of personalities is the source of conflict.

Answer 1

The answer is A. The theme is the lesson of the story.

Answer 2

Sentence A, "Death reminds everyone of what counts in life," most clearly describes a theme. A theme is a central idea or message in a work of literature, and sentence A expresses a central idea about the relationship between death and the meaning of life. The other sentences describe aspects of a story (description of setting, plot development, and source of conflict), but they do not express a central theme.
