I believe you mixed the question with these answers, because the word broached doesn't refer to any of these answers - first of all, it is a verb, and all of the options are nouns.
The meaning of this verb is <span>made a way into.</span>
Not to eat the spaghetti. The spaghetti was amazing
One theme is perseverance. <span>Buck is determined to survive, but he also wants to be a leader. In order to do this, he has to complete hard tasks, kill certain things, and prove that he has the right qualities.</span>
Answer: Critical
Explanation: The paragraph shows a critical tone due to the last two sentences. The beginning was purely informative of the rising popularity of cell phone usage. None of the particulate tones were being used. As the paragraph progresses, the author switches to the stating a negative side to cell phone usage. This being said, melancholy and humorous make no particular sense as an answer, which leaves us with respectful and critical. We can eliminate respectful because although the author was respectful, there was more to it then just that. Hope that helps!
I believe the correct answer is C: <span>a moment that is a turning point in a novel. Hope this helps.
