Final answer:
The correct answer is option a. Ralph's daydream in 'Lord of the Flies' may present a contrast between civilization and savagery, highlighting the internal struggle and foreshadowing the descent into savagery. The correct answer depends on the specific context of the daydream from the novel.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to a scene from the novel Lord of the Flies. The contrast presented by Ralph's daydream could be the one between civilization and savagery (A). Ralph often finds himself caught between the civilized world he comes from and the savage instincts that emerge within the boys on the island. This contrast highlights the boys' internal struggle and foreshadows the group's descent into savagery.
Alternatively, the contrast could also be seen in the setting - between the beach and the forest (B), symbolizing safety and the unknown, respectively. However, without a specific reference to Ralph's daydream from the text, the most fitting answer can't be provided conclusively.
The contrast between the boys' actions and their thoughts (C) reveals the difference between what they do as part of the group and what they actually believe or think individually. Leadership versus followership (D) is another theme of the novel, contrasting Ralph's and Jack's styles of leadership and the group's response to each.
