Question

1. which of the following would be considered a universal theme?

○ in maya tradition, good was not always seen as more admirable than evil.
○ people in a certain culture value individual wealth more than taking care of others.
○ too much power will make a person corrupt and undermine his or her sense of justice.
○ the main character learns that his mother is looking out for his best interests after all.

Explanation:

A universal theme is a concept that applies across different cultures, time periods, and contexts, reflecting shared human experiences or truths. The first two options are tied to specific cultural traditions, so they are not universal. The fourth option is a specific character arc from a single narrative. The third option addresses the corrupting nature of power, a concept explored in literature, history, and societies worldwide.

Answer:

Too much power will make a person corrupt and undermine his or her sense of justice.
