Which statement is a theme? The story teaches the importance of devoted friends. Gilgamesh delivers an encouraging speech to Enkidu. When Humbaba is defeated, the friends rejoice. True friends remain loyal despite hardship.

Respuesta :

I believe that theme is: The story teaches the importance of devoted friends. 
True friends remain loyal. This is the only theme, because it is a universal message, whereas the others are summaries specific to a book. "the story" ruins the first one, because that is also story specific. A theme cannot be story specific.
