Which theme does this passage best support? Pride goes before a fall. People should try to be good. It is necessary to question authority. Children should be seen and not heard.

A theme is one or more than one messages or lessons, not directly stated, that a text conveys about a topic that could apply to other literature or to life.

In the excerpt given, one of the themes may be "It is necessary to question authority", as it is about a storyteller, which it's the aunt and the figure of authority in the room too, who is telling a story to younger people, however, the audience finds the story uninteresting and, to a point, absurd, or lacking common sense. Seeing this, one of the girls in the audience decided to question what was being said. To which the aunt responded, perhaps answering the girl's doubt. In either way, the story teaches us that not because someone is in a position of authority, we must agree or accept what he or she says, in other words, it is necessary to question authority.

The theme that the given passage best supports is:

C) It is necessary to question authority.

A theme is the central idea of a given write up or book.

The most probable moral lesson from this is that people are allowed to question authority, when they do not feel they are getting value.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C
