Question

which theme is addressed in both \we wear the mask\ and \a man said to the universe\?
people are vulnerable to the forces around them.
people hide their deepest emotions.
people have a duty to their communities.
people significantly impact their environments.

Explanation:

• In "We Wear the Mask", people hide their pain and emotions behind a mask.
• In "A Man Said to the Universe", the man is insignificant (vulnerable) in the face of the universe's vastness. Both show people's vulnerability to external forces.
• "People hide their deepest emotions" is only in "We Wear the Mask".
• "People have a duty to their communities" is not in either.
• "People significantly impact their environments" is contrary to "A Man Said to the Universe" where the man has no impact on the universe.

Answer:

People are vulnerable to the forces around them.
