The question is incomplete and the full version can be found online.  

4. Violence is always futile in the end.

Explanation:

The Outsiders, by S. E. Hinton, begins with Ponyboy Curtis explaining the constant confrontation between the greasers, the East Side gang to which he belongs, and the Socials, known as the Socs, the group of rich kids from the West Side.

Ponyboy's claim of how fighting the Socs is a waste of time points to the theme of violence being futile in the end, as he seems to understand that no good has come from it in the past.

The other options are incorrect, because the theme in this section of the story Is not a hopeful one, such as people having to try harder to get along, because he knows that the confronting groups can not become friends. And despite Ponyboy being aware that he can count on those who he knows the best, and that his family members are more important than friends, that´s not the theme in this case.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
