Question

question 6 of 7
part b which sentence from the passage shows how the
author conveys the theme in part a?
a. \to our surprise, the island approached us
faster than we approached it.\

b.
eturning to the crew, i told them what i had
seen and declared that we would rest that night
and then venture down into the valley.\

c. \a wise leader knows you cannot force people
to follow, and so i let them go, wishing them well
and hoping we might later be reunited.\

d. \it is many years since i have seen another
human, and my grandson has never known one
except me.\

Explanation:

To solve this, we first need to determine the theme from Part A (though not fully visible, we analyze the options). Let's assume the theme relates to leadership, letting go, or adventure.

• Option A: Describes the island approaching, which is about the journey, not theme - related to conveying a deeper message.
• Option B: Is about the narrator's decision to rest, more about planning, not theme - conveying.
• Option C: Talks about a leader letting people go, showing a theme of leadership, letting go, or acceptance. If the theme in Part A is about leadership or letting others choose, this sentence conveys it.
• Option D: Is about isolation, which is a different theme.

We analyze each option. Option C shows a leader's action of letting people go, which likely connects to the theme (e.g., leadership, acceptance). Other options focus on journey details (A), planning (B), or isolation (D), not theme - conveying as directly as C.

Answer:

C. "A wise leader knows you cannot force people to follow, and so I let them go, wishing them well and hoping we might later be reunited."
