Answer 2

C. Theme

Theme refers to the underlying or overriding idea on which the story evolves. It is the main idea that connects the details, plot and characters together without which a story would not be coherent or would have no clear structure. It makes a work of fiction distinct from a simple news report. A news report may have a series of events (plot) and people (characters) but you would just be facing a “so what?” at the end of the rendition. Theme talks about abstract realities in life that makes the reader or audience feel for and be part of or be affected by the story.
