A theme is a universal lesson learned and the central idea is a one-sentence main idea.
- <em>Central idea</em> conveys that the text is about mainly, whereas, <em>theme </em>refers to the author's message, life lesson or moral learned from the story.
- A <em>central idea</em> cannot be referred to as the topic of the text, on the other hand, a <em>theme</em> cannot be same as topic.
- In one sentence, the<em> central idea </em>can be stated, whereas, <em>themes</em> are repeated and can be multiple.
Therefore, a theme is not the central idea, nor it can act as a topic of the text.
Answer:
A. The aunt thinks that the content of the story was too graphic for the children, but the bachelor disagrees.
Explanation:
The short story "The Storyteller" by Saki tells the story of a train journey where three small children along with their aunt were on a train to Templecombe. Beside them in the same compartment was a young bachelor who seemed less than impressed to be in the same compartment with the group.
In an attempt to distract and quieten the children, the bachelor ended up telling a story of a<em> "very good girl"</em> who was devoured by a wolf. Though the children were able to be good and <em>"quiet for ten minutes"</em>, a feat which the bachelor insist the aunt wasn't able to do, the aunt exclaimed that it was too graphic for them to be told that story. the gory details, the ending which resulted in the good girl dead, and the medals for being good leading to her death all were the many topics that the aunt had most presumably tried hard to swerve the children away from learning. In her opinion, she wanted to teach them only good things and not something as graphic as the young man had just done. This causes conflict between the two adults.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
