c)Working hard can pay off
d0All actions have consequences​

Answer 1

The most evident theme in the passages is 'All actions have consequences,' as characters navigate the outcomes of their financial decisions and sacrifices.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theme that is most evident in the provided passages is d) All actions have consequences. Whether it's a husband sacrificing his own desires for his wife's dress, individuals grappling with financial negotiations, or characters facing the ramification of their financial decisions, each story highlights the notion that every choice one makes has subsequent results that affect them and others. For example, a character gives up purchasing a desired gun to fund his wife's dress, and another character faces a crushing realization when the anticipated salary is not what was expected. In Ibsen's 'A Doll's House,' Nora secretly works to pay back money, illustrating her recognition that taking a loan has consequences that she must stealthily manage. Each narrative threads the idea that financial decisions, large or small, weave implications and outcomes that shape the characters' lives.
