Answer:
O . In "Thank You, M'am," rather calling the police, Mrs. Jones welcomes Roger in her home. In "The Strangers That Came to Town," Mr. Duvitch is grateful for the boys' actions and apology.
Step-by-step explanation:
Langston Hughes's "Thank You, Ma'am" revolves around the story or a young boy trying to steal a woman's purse but was caught. Instead of berating the young boy and giving him punishment, the woman cleaned him and gave him food, later on giving him money.
Likewise, Ambrose Flack's "The Strangers That Came to Town" is about an immigrant family and their unfortunate interaction with their next-door neighbors.
Both short stories deal with themes of forgiveness. While Hughes' story shows forgiveness in Mrs' Jones’s act of calling Roger home, the forgiveness of Mr. Duvitch for the boys' mistake is the main theme in the story.
Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
