Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of the question is fear/safety.
In each of the provided excerpts, characters express feelings of fear and concern for their safety. Whether it's Daisy Miller wanting Winterbourne to stay close during a storm, the women in 'Trifles' discussing their discomfort in the crime scene, or the girl in 'Riders of the Purple Sage' warning Venters of the danger he would be in if he went back to Oldring's, fear and safety are recurring themes.
