Question 2 • COA ELA Grade 8

Which statement is the best example of a theme in "Raymond's Run"?

Answer

A

I try to be confident as much as possible.

B

Confidence is a strong belief in oneself.

C

It is important to have confidence in oneself.

D

Squeaky could be described as confident.

Explanation

A theme is a general message or lesson that a story communicates, not just a character trait or a definition. “It is important to have confidence in oneself” states a broad lesson that fits Squeaky’s story and her growth. Choice A is a personal opinion, B defines confidence, and D describes Squeaky rather than expressing a message.
