Read the excerpt from ovid’s "pyramus and thisbe".

theirs did—indeed they wanted to be wed,
but marriage was forbidden by their parents;
yet there's one thing that parents can't prevent:
the flame of love that burned in both of them.

what story element is most evident in the excerpt?

the characterization of thisbe
a description of setting
an introduction of theme
the events of the plot

Third Option: An introduction of theme

Explanation:

"Pyramus and Thisbe" by Ovid (43 BC - 17/18 A.D) is a mythical and tragic story of two lovers who cannot wed because of their parents' rivalry. The lovers's live in houses separated by a common wall. Through a small opening in the wall they talk to each other, and plan to meet at a certain place. Thisbe arrives first but has to leave because of a dangerous lioness which has just finished her kill. She leaves her veil there. When Pyramus arrives, finds blood marks and Thisbe's veil there. He assumes that she has been killed, so he takes his own life with his sword. When Thisbe reaches later and find out dead Pyramus she too kills herself with the same sword.

The story's main theme is pair's all-consuming love, and mischance.

In this passage, we find the theme of their passionate love being introduced by using the words "wanted to be wed", and "flame of love".

There is no description of Thisbe's character or story's setting in this passage, so first and second options are incorrect.

Moreover, no event or action of the story is described, so fourth option is also incorrect.

The correct answer is...

C.) an introduction of theme

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

explanation:

margot’s silence imply? what will be her relationship with the other children from this point forward? remember, we read about how the most effective authors tap into the power of imagination. we have to use that imagination, and what we have learned about margot, her classmates, and their experiences
