Explanation:
The first sentence reads "<em>it takes both bravery and self-sacrifice to be a hero</em>". In order to clarify this sentence through the following sentences, the best option will be option "<em>(d) heroes have the inner strength to stand up for their beliefs, even in the face of danger"</em>. First sentence talks of the bravery and inner strength of the hero, unrelenting even at the face of imminent torture or death. To further expand this point, option <em>(d)</em> has the best description for the first sentence as it also talks of the same point about the bravery and strong resistance and unyielding strength of the person.
Though it may seem to be Trick or Treating, the point of the sentence is to understand how it is a affecting Human Nature. I'm assuming the rest of the passage is based off the human nature aspects as described.
The central idea is defined as "The main point the author is trying to get across to the reader."
