Answer: A young man planned a clever getaway from the department store.
The central idea that both "The Quinceanera" and "The Smithville Gazette: Neighborhood Thief Strickes Again" share is the fact that in both stories, a young man planned a clever getaway from the department store. Both stories feature as the main character a sales person, and they tell us the stories of their lives. However, they differ in the jewelry store setting.
Since a participle takes the form: verb + -ing, the only word in this sentence which has such a form is B, 'challenging'. 'Puzzle' is a noun, 'crossword' is an adjective, 'created' is a verb.
