Without the specific content of the passage from "The Crow-Child" by Mary Mapes Dodge, it's difficult to determine the exact universal theme. However, one common universal theme in many stories, including those featuring children and nature, is "love."

If the story emphasizes relationships, care, and emotional connections, then "love" would be the most applicable theme. If it focuses more on conflicts or moral struggles, then "good versus evil" might be relevant.

Please provide more context or details from the passage if you want a more precise response. Otherwise, based on general themes often found in narratives, "love" is a strong candidate.

Rearrange the formula F=ma
using m as the quantity of interest.(1 point)

To rearrange the formula \( F = ma \) for \( m \) (mass) as the quantity of interest, you would divide both sides of the equation by \( a \):

\[ m = \frac{F}{a} \]

So, the rearranged formula is \( m = \frac{F}{a} \).
