Consider the passage and theme. Devin kept a low profile in school. He attended classes and talked with his friends in the hall,

but few knew him well. He rarely raised his hand in class and never spoke out of turn. Even in band class, he refused to draw attention to himself. Though he had earned the honor of first-chair saxophone, he did not reveal his passion for his instrument to his classmates. Then, sophomore year, Devin joined the marching band despite his fear of public scrutiny. The night of the first football game, his palms were sweating and his heart was racing as the band marched onto the field. But as soon as he began to play, his fears were forgotten, and through the glare of the lights he could see the crowd swaying and clapping to the music. Devin was completely at ease during his solo, and after the game a friend told him, "You were great! I didn't know you had it in you." Theme One: It is important to take risks. What other theme is addressed in the passage?
A. People can reveal themselves through their passions.
B. Music entertains people with varied interests.
C. A leader knows how to share the spotlight with others.
D. Shyness can prevent people from finding social success.

Answer: A. People can reveal themselves through their passions

Explanation:

A theme is refered to as the main idea in a story. While the first theme in the passage is that it is important to take risks, the second theme is that people can reveal themselves through their passions.

This can be seen in the passage as Devin expressed himself through his music as he was at ease during his solo. Through his passion for music, he was able to express himself.

Read the passage.
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: lacking strength

Explanation:

The highlighted word is ''frail''.

The definition of frail in relation to a human being is someone who is physically weak and fragile.

In this context therefore, it is logical to assume that the word means that the person being referred to (the mother) is lacking strength. This would make sense because the mother is getting old and people get weaker as they age.
