Question

3 multiple choice 3 points which of the following cannot be used as a symbol in a story? an act a theme an object a character

Explanation:

In literature, a symbol is something (an act, object, character) that represents an idea. A theme is the central idea/message, not a symbol (symbols represent themes/ideas). Acts (e.g., a character’s action), objects (e.g., a dove for peace), and characters (e.g., a hero symbolizing courage) can be symbols. Themes are the concepts symbols convey, not symbols themselves.

Answer:

B. a theme
