The right answer is D. Advanced by the narrator's tone
The theme is a term or short expression that briefly presents the subject of a text, often determined by an abstract name. It corresponds to the dominant thought that an author develops in a work and around which an action is organized rather than theoretical reflections.
The theme is the central idea or message in a story, often associated with motifs, character developments, dialogues, and the narrative's tone. It can also be considered the moral of the story. Therefore, none of the listed statements accurately state what a theme is not.
The theme of a story refers to its central idea or message expressed or represented throughout the work. They are often associated and developed through motifs, character developments, dialogues, and the narrative's tone. Thus, it would be incorrect to state that the theme is not related to the motifs that occur in a story. In addition, a theme can indeed be boiled down to a moral or lesson to be taken away from the story. The narrator's tone can also play a key role in advancing or clarifying the theme. Therefore, none of the proposed statements are accurate descriptions of what a theme is not.
