Select the theme that would be expressed best in the story idea below.
A banquet speaker declares that the high school years are the happiest experiences in life. His daughter has told him repeatedly that she wants to leave the new school where she is lonely and ill at ease.
a. Many parents hope their children will be more successful than they have been themselves.
b. Some individuals miss a great deal in life because they are afraid to try new things.
c. Some individuals get into a lot of trouble because they try too many new things. Even mature adults have a childlike side to their personalities.
d. Some adults do not take the ideas of young people seriously.
Hmm this one was interesting, I initially was going to choose A. But I believe the correct answer is (D) because of the word "repeatedly". This let's me know that he doesn't take what she is saying seriously. Hope I helped :)!
