What should be considered when trying to discover the theme of a piece of literature?
a. the main character’s growth, behavior, and motivations
b. the values illustrated by characters and events of the story
c. the effect of the piece on the reader
d. all of these

The correct answer  is D. All of these

Explanation:

In literature the theme refers to the message the writer wants to communicate, the theme is usually considered as the underlying message of a text that expresses a belief about one element of life such as love, death or  courage, due to this most themes are not stated explicitly but developed through main elements during the story these elements include characters as their actions and motivations can support the theme of the story or show an opposite view to it, also, the character values reflect this belief about life, as well as the effect the story has on the reader as it is through this the reader can decipher what is the underlying message and to what extent he agrees on it. Thus, all of the elements in the list should be considered when trying to discover the theme in a literature piece.

my bad lil sis i promise tori

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x
