The option that is NOT one way that authors develop themes in their stories is "by making readers question the author's attitude toward their work." While questioning can lead to deeper engagement, it is not a direct method for developing themes in the same way that symbols, changes in setting, or dialogue and actions can be. Authors typically convey themes through more explicit narrative techniques rather than by encouraging readers to question their own attitudes.

Yes, I can clarify. The option "by making readers question the author's attitude toward their work" is less about how an author develops a theme and more about the readers' engagement with the material. While an author's attitude can certainly influence the themes presented, the development of themes typically relies on the use of symbols, changes in setting, and consistent dialogue and actions that highlight particular ideas.
To further emphasize, effective theme development primarily involves narrative techniques, while reader interpretation is a separate process. So, yes, that option is not a direct method that authors use to develop themes in their stories.
