Writing about Theme in Fiction and Citing Evidence

Question 17799 • PA-Common Core ELA 8 Q1

Given the theme “Something good can come from not getting what you want,” which evidence provides the best support?

Answer
A
“watching how smoothly he climbs hand over hand”
B
“Raymond would make a very fine runner.”
C
“Doesn’t he always keep up with me on my trots?”
D
“I can . . . begin a whole new career as a coach with Raymond as my champion.”

Explanation

The theme suggests that an unwanted outcome can lead to a positive opportunity. In choice D, the speaker considers becoming a coach and helping Raymond become a champion, turning disappointment into a new purpose. The other choices praise Raymond’s ability but do not show a new good thing coming from not getting what was wanted.
