Theme is the central idea or meaning of a story. Theme in fiction is rarely presented at all; it is abstracted from the details of character and action that compose the story. It provides a unifying point around which the plot, characters, setting, point of view, symbols, and other elements of a story are organized.

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. The word in bold is as follows:

Explanation:
The word "pecuniary" is used to refer to anything related to or consisting of money. For instance, if you are given a pecuniary gift, that means you are given money. In the excerpt above, President Lincoln states he is going to recommend a financial support (pecuniary aid) to certain states in order to prevent their rebellion against the United States as well as encourage the abolition of slavery.
