Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False? There can be many themes found in one story.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A story can have as many themes as the reader can identify based on recurring patterns and parallels within the story itself. In looking at ways to separate themes into a hierarchy, we might find it useful to follow the example of a single book. To Kill a Mockingbird, for example, features some commonly-used themes.

Detailed explanation-2: -To identify the theme of a story, you have to read through the story and understand the basics of the characterization, plot and other literary elements that are included in the story. Get to know the main subjects of the story. Get to know what the author’s view on the mentioned subjects is.

Detailed explanation-3: -A theme is not ONE WORD. That is a topic. Bad example 1: The theme was love.

Detailed explanation-4: -A story’s theme is what the story is about-but not in the way you might initially think. A theme isn’t the work’s literal details like its character or setting. It’s the universal message the story communicates.
