D. A theme is the purpose of a text.
Edgar Allan Poe wrote a letter to John Allan on the 19th March 1827 to let him know that he was going to leave the latter's house in order to find a place where he could be treated in a better way. He had heard Mr. Allan saying he had no affection for him, so he thought it over for days, and finally reached to the conclusion that that house, was not a good place for him to leave.

Answer:

Since the end of the first world war, the USA has established itself once and for all as a great power that would not be easily defeated by anything. The rise of the USA was notable and its influence and power grew more and more each day.
In the midst of so much prosperity, the United States also cultivated enmities that would seek to attack it in every way possible. This increased the need to establish a strong defense that would protect America from adverse attacks. One way to do this was to modernize and empower the national navy, which in addition to being able to protect the United States efficiently, reaffirmed the country as the world's greatest power, both economically and militarily.
Although other presidents helped to empower the navy, it was Roosevelt who made it a symbol of US power, as a way to frighten enemies and stimulate social, political alliances with other nations and generate a strong and imposing reputation.
