What is the theme in the short story “There Will Come Soft Rains”?

A truly horrifying look at the aftermath of a nuclear war. The sole survivor seems to be the poor starving and diseased dog. The house, automated, continues telling the time and anniversaries, but none except the dying dog is there to hear. As depressing as it was, it had a tremendous impact on me, so that 40 years after I read it, when the Navy wanted to base nuclear weapons within less than a mile of my home (at a base the 9/11 terrorists had on their list of potential targets), I organized the opposition, which ultimately convinced the Navy not to build the base.

Explanation:

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.

the words “strangest” and “unusual” suggest that the narrator is about to tell the story of an odd or puzzling group of people.
