Clarification:
I found the story and the complete exercise online:
Choose the best sentence that states the theme and not an opinion for this story.
1) Dreams only come true for some people.
2) People can only be rich once.
3) Sometimes we can find the greatest treasures in our own yards.
4) If you journey from place to place looking for fortune, you are not very smart.
Answer:
3) Sometimes we can find the greatest treasures in our own yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete this exercise, you have to read the short story and then choose the sentence that states the theme. This short story is about a man who dreams that he is going to be rich if he travels to Beijing.
The correct sentence is the third one because when he goes to Beijing he finds out there is a treasure in his yard and he finally gets rich. The other options are not correct because dreams could have come true for the policeman, the man from the story used to be rich but he lost everything and the policeman was not smart because he did not travel to find the treasure.
