The story entitled "Hearts and Hands" written by O. Henry is about the influx of passengers into a certain express, name B&M and the two young men with opposing physical characteristics handcuffed together. As they arrived to the express, the only available seat is that which faced an attractive young woman. One of the men is the marshal and the other one is his captivated criminal about to be taken to prison.
This question is missing the passage. I've found the complete question online. Since the options are the same, I will omit them.
The Girl in the Picture
I loved to look at the old photographs, especially the ones with me in them. I suppose that was bad of me and proved I was stuck on myself, but I couldn't help it. The pictures with me in them were just more interesting. Every stage of my life was there, snapped by the camera and stamped on a glossy piece of paper. I loved seeing myself at three, standing with my brother, Donald, in front of the house in our matching cowboy and cowgirl outfits, or standing on a chair in front of the kitchen counter, mixing a birthday cake for Mother. The pictures reminded me that I was real, that I always had been real and always would be real, and that I wasn't just some girl someone had made up.
Which two statements best express themes in the passage?
Answer:
The two statements that best express themes in the passage are:
Evidence of a prior time reminds people of their worth in life.
Joy comes from looking back on the past.
Explanation:
The narrator in the passage clearly derives happiness from looking at the pictures. Photos allow her to remember, to watch herself grow and change. And a sense of worth comes from it, since watching her own history pictured like that makes her realize how true it all is. She is a real person, with a real history. Being able to see that, being reminded of that, makes her happy. Therefore, the two themes expressed in the passage are:
Evidence of a prior time reminds people of their worth in life.
Joy comes from looking back on the past.

Depends on what the time is. Whether it’s a meeting or a conversation.
Do you have a few time?
Do you have few time?
Respectfully, this doesn’t make much sense. If it was “ Do you have a few minutes?” That would make more sense of it.
