Explanation:

To solve the matching problem between quotations from Black Beauty and their corresponding themes, we analyze each quotation and theme:

1. Quotation: "Good fortune comes to those who are kind."

• Theme Match: This quotation emphasizes that kindness leads to good fortune. We need to find a theme (from the blue boxes) that aligns with kindness or positive outcomes from good behavior. However, since the themes are in blue boxes ("Ignorance is not an excuse for doing wrong," "Think for yourself," and the third blue box text is partially visible, but likely related to kindness/fortune), we infer the match based on context. If one theme relates to kindness/reward, this quotation matches it.

2. Quotation: "Ignorance is not an excuse for doing wrong."

• Theme Match: This directly relates to a theme about accountability (not using ignorance as a defense for bad actions).

3. Quotation: "If people can say, 'Oh! I did not know, I did not mean any harm,' they think it is all right."

• Theme Match: This critiques using ignorance as an excuse, so it matches the theme "Ignorance is not an excuse for doing wrong."

4. Quotation: "If we could act a little more according to common sense, and a good deal less according to fashion, we should find many things work easier."

• Theme Match: This emphasizes using common sense over following trends, which aligns with a theme about rationality or independent thinking (e.g., "Think for yourself").

5. Quotation: "Good luck is rather particular who she rides with, and mostly prefers those who have got common sense and a good heart, at least that is my experience."

• Theme Match: This links good luck to common sense and a good heart (kindness), matching the theme about fortune and kindness.

Final Matches (Example, assuming themes are "Good fortune comes to those who are kind," "Ignorance is not an excuse for doing wrong," "Think for yourself"):

• "Good fortune comes to those who are kind" ↔ Quotation about good luck/kindness.
• "Ignorance is not an excuse for doing wrong" ↔ Quotations about ignorance not excusing harm.
• "Think for yourself" ↔ Quotation about common sense over fashion (independent thinking).

(Note: The exact matching depends on the full theme text, but the above logic uses context from Black Beauty’s themes of kindness, accountability, and independent thinking.)
