Respuesta :

Well, I'd go with C) by looking for facts and opinions that repeatedly show up
because its a theme that the author likes. Not really much to explain (:

Answer: C. by looking for facts and opinions that repeatedly show up .

In literature, a theme is an idea or a point that is central to a story. Themes are conveyed through the use of language and through the actions of the characters in the narrative. A story can have several themes. Because themes are so central to the narrative and often implied rather than directly stated, topics that are related to themes are often repeated throughout the text.
