Lorelei Mckee · Answer 1

B: The price of wealth, fame, and power

This is the best example of a theme.

Explanation:

Theme of a story means the central message that the story illustrates. To find the theme of a story, reader must understand the central message of the story. A writer may use irony, symbolism etc to present the theme. Theme should not be confused with moral of the story.

The correct option B refers to the price one need to pay for wealth, fame and power. This is a theme as story can revolve around this. Other options are just a scene of a story: like Option C which is the moment when conflict is resolved and Option D which is a romantic scene between two lovers. Similarly, option A which is a reference to a story from mythology. All these are only scenes from a story not the theme of it.
