A story's theme

a. is always directly stated in the story

b. offers some insight or idea about life

c. is a summary of the plot

d. is the same story as the subject

B is the the correct answer because the theme in a story is basically the lesson in the story

B is the best answer because in order to capture the audience's attention, the writer must connect with us on a personal level.

Using the theme to connect with us about life and the world is therefore very powerful as we all live on the same earth and share similar problems.
