Answer:

A. Historical events prove that injustice can be overcome

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the theme of the poem as the message. Ask yourself "what is the poem trying to tell me." "THE-MEssage"

We can start of by eliminating some of the options that are obviously incorrect:

- option 'b' can be eliminated because the poem only speaks of "wealthy landlords" once in the whole poem. Meaning, there is no way the whole poem is about wealthy landlords being overthrown in the future.

-option 'd' can be eliminated as well because while the poem is called "Imagine the Angels of Bread" the poem does not make angels the main idea or message. Additionally, the sentence "humiliated people hope angels can give them peace" is a very shallow and unlikely option for a theme.

That leaves us with option 'c' and option 'a'. And while the poem does give examples of all the times society has oppressed nations and people, option 'c' cannot be the main theme of the poem because the poem also shows how the injustice has been overcome. This eliminates option 'c' and leaves us with our answer: option 'a'
