c. paragraph 7
d. paragraph 10

Explanation:

To solve this, we need the passage (not provided here) to analyze themes and supporting paragraphs. However, generally:

Part A

Themes relate to central ideas. For example, if the passage focuses on teamwork achieving goals, B. Anything is possible through teamwork could be correct (but depends on passage content). Other options: A (consensus for team ideas) – needs passage support; C (genius misunderstood) – unlikely if passage is about teams; D (intimidation controlling opinion) – not team - theme.

Part B

The paragraph supporting the Part A answer would have content related to the chosen theme. If Part A is B (teamwork), the paragraph with teamwork - related details (e.g., paragraph showing team achievements) would be the answer.

Since the passage is missing, we can't give definite answers. But if we assume a typical teamwork - themed passage:

Part A Answer:

B. Anything is possible through teamwork.

Part B Answer (assuming paragraph with teamwork details, e.g., if paragraph 7 has such content):

C. paragraph 7

(Note: These answers are based on assumptions. The actual answers depend on the passage's content.)
