Answer: C: courage helps people survive in danger
Explanation:
The question requires choosing the option that best states the theme of an excerpt from The King of Mazy May, by Jack London. In the excerpt, Walt Masters courageously escapes his pursuers by attacking them with his whip and pushing their wheel dog, which makes "courage helps people survive in danger" the best possible description for the theme. There are no references to honesty nor beauty coming from within. Friendship, trust, and patience are not present in the excerpt either.

Also, when it says he arranged many women's marriages, it seems like he was somewhat romantically involved which is probably why he was so well loved. I mean, the author chose to only include many young women into the phrase. Overall, I believe the friar serves himself.
