Answer 1

I don't have the excerpt — could you paste it? Then I can pick the best answer and point to evidence.

Meanwhile, here are quick ways to decide among the choices using the text:

- A (Survival may involve giving up principles): look for characters making pragmatic but morally questionable choices, sacrificing beliefs to stay alive or protect others.
- B (Good always triumphs over evil): look for a clear moral victory where the protagonist/virtuous characters prevail and wrongdoing is punished or corrected.
- C (Power comes with the potential for corruption): look for a character who gains authority and then acts selfishly, cruelly, or changes morally because of power.
- D (The laws of civilization do not apply in the wild): look for scenes where societal rules break down, characters abandon law/ethics because of a wild/hostile environment.

Paste the excerpt and I’ll identify the central theme and quote supporting lines.
