which situation from a novel best reflects the following theme?
trust in others must be based on a proven track record of integrity.
a. a young pickpocket is tricked out of his biggest haul by his partner.

c. a mother raises her two children alone on an island after a shipwreck.
d. an unlikely duo pairs up to save a town from a gang of bandits.

The theme states trust needs a proven integrity track record. Option A shows the pickpocket trusted his partner without such a record, leading to being tricked, which directly reflects the consequence of not following the theme. The other options do not relate to trust based on integrity.

Answer:

A. A young pickpocket is tricked out of his biggest haul by his partner.
