The correct response is: the major details about the subject.

Two texts about the same topic written by different authors would have the following in common:

1. The major details about the subject: Both texts would provide information and details about the same topic, although they may present them from different perspectives or with different emphasis.
2. The writer's reason for writing: Both texts would have a purpose or intent behind their creation, such as informing, persuading, or entertaining the reader. However, the specific reasons may vary between the two authors.
3. The style of the writing: Both texts would have a particular writing style or tone, which could be formal, informal, descriptive, narrative, or any other style chosen by the authors. The style of writing may differ between the two texts, reflecting the individual writing styles of the authors.

Overall, while two texts about the same topic by different authors would have similarities, they may also have differences in terms of their perspectives, details, reasons for writing, and writing styles.

To answer this question, we need to determine what two texts about the same topic written by different authors would have in common. One way to do this is to think about the characteristics that can be shared between different texts on the same topic.

Option 1 suggests that the texts would have the same writer's relationship to the subject. This means that both authors would have a similar connection or perspective on the topic.

Option 2 states that the major details about the subject would be common between the two texts. This means that both authors would include the same important information or facts about the topic.

Option 3 suggests that the writer's reason for writing would be shared between the texts. This means that both authors would have a similar purpose or motivation for writing about the topic.

Option 4 states that the style of the writing would be common between the texts. This means that both authors would use a similar writing style or technique.

Looking at these options, it seems that the two texts about the same topic written by different authors would most likely have in common the major details about the subject. This is because the details about the topic are objective and can be shared by different authors, regardless of their relationship to the subject, reason for writing, or writing style.

Therefore, the correct answer would be:

- the major details about the subject
