This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is the following:
Read the excerpt from Part 4 of The Odyssey.
As long as bread and good red wine remained to keep the men up, and appease their craving, they would not touch the cattle. But in the end, when all the barley in the ship was gone, so hunger drove them to scour the wild shore with angling hooks, for fishes and seafowl, whatever fell into their hands; and lean days wore their bellies thin.
Answer:
The theme that is best revealed by this conflict is:
A. It is easy to uphold morals when one is not suffering.
Explanation:
<u>In this part of the epic poem The Odyssey, by Homer, the hero Odysseus and his men have landed on an island. Even though there is cattle in the island, Odysseus has been warned to not allow his men to kill and eat it, since this cattle is sacred. However, the men are only capable of upholding their morals and respecting the order to not kill the cattle while they are not suffering. As long as they have food and wine, the cattle is safe.

Answer:
B Sometimes people take advantage of the kindness of their friends.
Explanation:
"Lazy Anansi" is an African folktale from the state of Ghana which tells the story of how spiders came to have long, thin legs. The story also deals with a good moral of why it is bad manners to rely on or take advantage of other people's goodness.
The tale tells how Anansi, a lazy spider would depend on others for his meals, visiting one friend after another for their food. And amidst this habit, he got stuck with everyone's offer to eat with them. And thus ended up hurting his own body when they all pulled his web to let him know the food was ready. And in the process of doing so, the friends had unknowingly hurt him physically, thus leading to the thin and long legs of spiders.
Thus, the <u>main theme of the fable is that sometimes people take undue advantage of the kindness and goodness of others, like he spider Anansi.</u>
