lots of kids, and people without work cards are all going to the left! we understood this must be very bad. which theme is addressed in both excerpts? ignorance of reality is preferable to awareness. physical sensations can be just as painful as the event itself. people can be worn down to the point of giving up. reality can be inexplicably cruel and unfair.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

The cartoon shows people (including kids and those without work cards) going left, and the group thinks this "must be very bad" without clear reason, implying an unfair/cruel reality. The theme "Reality can be inexplicably cruel and unfair" fits as it addresses the unexplained harshness of the situation (people being judged negatively for moving left without clear cause) and likely the other excerpt (not shown but the option aligns with the cartoon's implication of unfair judgment of a group). Other options: "Ignorance..." is opposite (they assume badness, not prefer ignorance), "Physical sensations" is irrelevant (no physical pain shown), "Worn down" is not shown (no giving up, just judgment of others' actions).

Answer:

D. Reality can be inexplicably cruel and unfair.
