This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Part 4 of The Odyssey.

As long as bread and good red wine remained to keep the men up, and appease their craving, they would not touch the cattle. But in the end, when all the barley in the ship was gone, so hunger drove them to scour the wild shore with angling hooks, for fishes and seafowl, whatever fell into their hands; and lean days wore their bellies thin.
Answer:

The theme that is best revealed by this conflict is:

A. It is easy to uphold morals when one is not suffering.

Explanation:

In this part of the epic poem The Odyssey, by Homer, the hero Odysseus and his men have landed on an island. Even though there is cattle in the island, Odysseus has been warned to not allow his men to kill and eat it, since this cattle is sacred. However, the men are only capable of upholding their morals and respecting the order to not kill the cattle while they are not suffering. As long as they have food and wine, the cattle is safe. But, once they have consumed their provisions, they forget about their morals and the warning, kill the cattle, and end up dead as a punishment from the gods.

The correct answer is C. Kiana peered at her watch. It had been four hours since she and Albert had started hiking the trail, but their destination had not yet appeared. What if they were lost? She hoped Albert couldn't sense her worry.

Explanation:

Excerpt C is the only one that describes the actions of a story by using third-person pronouns such as "she" or "they", which is the main feature in the third-person point of view. This is exemplified in "Kiana peered at her watch" or "She hoped Albert couldn't sense her worry". Moreover, the general narrating style shows the narrator is mainly an observer rather than a participant in the story, which is common in this point of view. Moreover, other excerps use the pronoun "I" and this is only used if the text is written in the first-person point of view rather than the third-person point of view.
