A scientist wants to drop a bouncy ball from a height of one meter and determine how many times the ball will bounce before coming to rest. Which option below is an example of a hypothesis for this test?
To find the answer to this question, we need to understand what the theme of a narrative or novel refers to. The theme is not usually stated explicitly by the author; it is a deeper, underlying message or meaning about life that the reader infers from the story.
Option A states that the theme is "the message or underlying meaning about life that the author wants the reader to infer." This choice accurately describes the theme and aligns with our understanding of what it represents.
Option B suggests that the conflicts characters encounter throughout the story define the theme. While conflicts can contribute to the development and exploration of the theme, they are not the theme itself.
Option C proposes that the theme is "the one-word topic that the author wants the reader to focus on." However, themes are usually more complex and multi-dimensional than just a single word.
Option D suggests that the theme is "the statement an author makes in the introduction," but themes are not limited to being conveyed solely in the introduction. Themes can be developed throughout the entire narrative or novel.
Therefore, the correct choice that defines the theme of a narrative or novel is A: the message or underlying meaning about life that the author wants the reader to infer.
