The two scenarios that support the theme 'Patience can lead to great things' are Olivia's continuous auditions until getting the lead role and Brendan's perseverance through multiple interviews before securing an accounting job. These examples embody the reward of patience and determination.

Step-by-step explanation:

To distinguish which two scenarios provide evidence to support the theme 'Patience can lead to great things', we should look for instances where perseverance results in a positive outcome after a period of waiting. The correct scenarios are:

1. Olivia continued to try out for a new play every year until she finally got the lead role in May this year.
2. In February, Brendan found out that after over a dozen interviews he finally got the job as an accountant.

Both of these examples showcase the individuals demonstrating patience and persistence, eventually leading to their desired success. In contrast, the other scenarios do not show positive results of patience or are not relevant to the theme.
