Answer

Brief Explanations:

To solve this, we analyze each literary term:

  • Allusion: Refers to indirect references, not matching "universal idea".
  • Characterization: Focuses on character depiction, not the central idea.
  • Imagery: Involves sensory details, irrelevant here.
  • Irony: Contrast between expectation and reality, not applicable.
  • Theme: Defined as a universal idea or message in a work. The underlined "idea" (about "no place like home") aligns with the definition of theme.

Answer:

E. theme
