Cordell Acevedo · Answer 1

C. Themes are universal ideas found in literacy works. A theme can be a lesson or a piece of advice non specific to the characters in the story.

Reagan Coleman · Answer 2

Themes are universal ideas found in literary works: This statement is valid as themes are the universal ideas that an author wishes to convey through the book.

Answer: Option c

Explanation:

a. Themes are always explicitly stated in a piece of literature: This cannot be true as the theme of the poem or literature is implied sometimes. It doesn't have to be explained in the literature always.

b. Themes need to be stated by the protagonist as a life lesson: This statement is also not true as the life or situations faced by protagonist can make a theme; but it is again not mandatory that the main lead should state the theme.

d. Themes are the same as central ideas and found in informational texts: This statement is also false which says that theme is a main idea which is different from the central idea found in informational texts.
