The theme that the two passages have in common is: "Cleverness is better than strength." (Option B)
A theme is a main focus, subject, or message within a story in current literary studies. Themes are classified into two types: thematic concepts and thematic statements. Thematic concepts are what readers "believe the work is about," while thematic statements are "what the work says about the topic."
A theme is a lesson that the author wants the reader to grasp by the end of the book. Themes are usually crucial life lessons that the reader may relate to in some manner. An excellent subject will leave the reader thinking about the characters and their own lives.
A topic may be contentious or have no obvious response at times, prompting the reader to seek deeper questions about their surroundings.
The topic is not always conveyed overtly; the reader must sometimes deduce the lesson from b, conversation, or events. The theme frequently shows the actual goals of the characters throughout the novel, and authors create themes to connect the importance of their characters with the events of the work.
