The correct answer is A) through explicit statement
Contemporary writers rarely explicitly state what they have in mind and a deeper analysis is needed to understand all the underlying layers of their work.
The least common way for the modern writers to convey their themes is through the use of explicit statements. Option A is correct.
The theme in a story refers to the underlying message, or 'big idea' the author tries to convey. Tu put it simply, theme may be the critical belief about life the authorattempts to express in the writing of a novel, play, short story or poem. This belief, or idea, goes beyond cultural barriers and is usually universal in nature.
