The Reefs by Marcella Morris
1. The theme develops from the conflict or the central problem that is being confronted. It can also develop from the character, especially the character's qualities, actions, responses, and changes which the character makes in the situation.
2. Sophie was confronted with the problem of solving a crucial environmental issue. The coral reefs were facing possible extinction. She could not receive some support from her college professors, as they refused to provide their expertise, withheld their moral support, and did not supply her with the resources that she required (e.g. laboratory time). But, Sophie did not give up. She singularly decided to do something and was able to follow through despite the discouraging challenges. At last, she came up with the solution because of her indomitable spirit.
Explanation:
What is a theme? A theme of a story or an event is the lesson that can be derived from the story or event. It is not the sequence of events that make up a story, which is known as the plot, but the message or the bone of the story. The theme develops from the conflict or the central problem that is being tackled. The lessons that are learned in tackling the conflict or problem are the themes.

Explanation:
An epic simile is basically a regular simile, but it takes place over the course of several lines in poetry. There is no evidence in the excerpt provided that the correct answer could be a simile, so we’ll rule that option out.
The phrase starting in medias generally means that it’s a somewhat introduction. It can often introduce the story in the beginning, or be a great start if you want to start your story with a flashback. I’d say this is a good answer for the question, but just in case there’s a better one let’s go over the other options as well.
To invoke the muse would be to get inspiration for whatever it is you’re going to start doing. For example, let’s say you’re writing a story, and you have no ‘muse.’ Here you’d ‘pray to the muse gods’ to give you muse, or in another word, inspiration. This is clearly not the answer because the passage is not invoking any muse. They clearly already know which direction they’re taking with the story.
And finally, the use of epithets would be to specifically describing something and/ or someone. Sure, this passage caries descriptive detail, but that’s not its primary focus.
In conclusion, the correct answer to this question is b ) starting in medias res
