Go by parts:
the product of 3 and the difference of a number and 10
-> the difference of a number and 10: x - 10
-> the product of 3 and the amount written above: 3(x - 10)
... matches 15
-> 3(x - 10) = 15
That is option C.
B. It has a lighthearted affect on the conclusion that suggests the conflict has been resolved
The theme is the moral or the lesson of the story. After reading the story, which of the answers gives you a lesson that is universal (can apply to anyone) and fits with the story. For example, one could say that the moral of Finding Nemo is "always listen to your parents as they know best". No specific details like names or places are given in the theme.
13 is personification and
14 is a simile
Hey there! I believe the answer you need is
Place. Usually a place indicates
where the setting is. Time usually indicates
when the setting is. Hope this helped!
Thanks!
