hope that helps uh..☺

the answer is d. the theme is the central message in the text. the plot and the characterization build up the theme. thus it is not direclty mentioned in the text.themes are universal can be taken out and applied to other texts.

whereas the   central idea is stated directly in the text. the reader learns what   the story is about to the central idea.main ideas are not universal because they only apply to the text they belong. we can say they are unique.
