Answer 1

I don’t have the excerpt — can you paste the text evidence?

Meanwhile, here’s how to choose the best theme based on common signals in the excerpt:

- If the passage shows characters becoming immoral, cruel, or abusive after gaining power: choose “Power corrupts those who achieve it.”
- If the passage emphasizes sacrifice, loss, or heavy cost that the protagonist accepts to win: choose “Victory is worth the price.”
- If the passage shows characters risking or giving their lives, or putting obedience above their own survival for a leader: choose “Loyalty to one's superior is more important than life.”
- If the passage shows rulers/authority figures failing to acknowledge or reward success, or actively undermining successful subordinates: choose “People in power cannot recognize success.”

Paste the excerpt and I’ll pick the best option and point to the exact lines that support it.
