Explanation:

To determine the quotation supporting the theme "Rules should be applied fairly", we analyze each option:

• The first option ("It was against the rules...") shows a rule applied to all, but not about fairness in application.
• The second option ("How was Cody going to explain...") focuses on a deal for known people vs full price for others, showing unfair rule application (favoritism), which contrasts with the theme.
• The third option ("For the most part, Cody enforced...") shows Cody enforcing rules uniformly (saying no to discounts/samples for everyone), demonstrating fair application of rules, aligning with the theme.

Answer:

For the most part, Cody enforced the mitchells' rules. When someone asked for a discount or a sample, Cody said no.
