The major themes of the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” are the subordination of women within the institution of marriage and the consequences of the rest cure. 

Gilman demonstrates how confining women to domestic chores and not taking their opinions seriously stunted their intellectual development. The men believed they had superiority in wisdom and maturity and felt the need to protect their women. John, the narrator’s husband, is a doctor who doesn’t take the narrator seriously.

The story also highlights the ill effects of the controversial rest cure, which was largely used for people suffering from mental illnesses at the time. While the narrator does not agree with the idea of the rest cure, she is powerless to object.

As the story progresses, it demonstrates how the rest cure often resulted in deteriorating mental health and led to insanity:

"What is the matter?" he cried. "For God's sake, what are you doing!"

I kept on creeping just the same, but I looked at him over my shoulder.

"I've got out at last," said I, "in spite of you and Jane. And I've pulled off most of the paper, so you can't put me back!"

Part A refers to the central theme of the text which is "Self-care involves avoiding unhealthy food, stress, and risky situations"

Answer:

The text states that in order to practice self-care correctly we must keep away from foods that do not provide anything good to our body, in addition, we must avoid stressful situations and that can offer us some risk.

The information that best supports this claim is But, like other machines, [the body] needs proper fuel (nutrition), rest (sleep) and maintenance (exercise) to function properly. Without attention to these basic needs, the machine can become less efficient and you can get sick.” ( Paragraph 5)
