what is the difference between a moral and a theme?
a. a moral can contain several ideas, while a theme contains only one main idea.
b. a moral exposes the authors bias, while a theme reveals the readers prejudice.
c. a moral is easily identifiable, while a theme is harder to interpret by the reader.
d. a moral explains deeper meaning, while a theme is a simple description of events.

Explanation:

A moral is a straightforward lesson (e.g., "honesty is the best policy"), easily spotted. A theme is a broader, more complex idea (e.g., "the nature of love") that may require analysis of characters, plot, etc., so it's harder to interpret.

Answer:

C. A moral is easily identifiable, while a theme is harder to interpret by the reader.
