Answer:
What readers can infer about the themes or plot of the novel based on the line is:
3. Someone is going to make some bold, perhaps dangerous decisions.
Explanation:
The line we are supposed to analyze is:
<em>If strong ideas offend you, read no more.</em>
If you find a line like that in a novel, you can rest assured it is a warning. The author is letting you know he/she will probably shock you. However, that line does not reveal anything just yet. There is no way to know if this is going to be about money or fate. Therefore, we can eliminate options 1 and 2. Option 4 is also incorrect. It is not that strong ideas are offensive, according to the line. There are people who may find them to be so and, in that case, the author is warning them not to read any further. Thus, we are left with option 3. The novel that follows such a line will most likely have some bold, perhaps dangerous decisions.
