Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.


The smell of tar and salt was something new. I saw the most wonderful figureheads, that had all been far over the ocean. I saw, besides, many old sailors, with rings in their ears, and whiskers curled in ringlets, and tarry pigtails, and their swaggering, clumsy sea-walk; and if I had seen as many kings or archbishops I could not have been more delighted.


What is the relationship between mood and theme in this passage?


The wonder and joy Jim experiences and relates reinforce the theme of adventure.

The author’s formal tone reinforces the theme that piracy is bad.

Jim’s wonder at the descriptions of the old sailors reinforces the theme of innocence lost.

Jim’s informal description of the sailors reinforces a playful theme.
