Question

select the quotation from the story that most strongly suggests that the theme is just because you find something funny doesnt mean others will. \i had an important presentation at work that morning, but i was late to my meeting because i needed to change clothes,\ his mom said. \im sorry, mom,\ he said. \i didnt think that one through.\ the next morning, he overheard his moms startled scream as she got sprayed by water.

Explanation:

The first quotation shows the mother's negative consequence (being late for work) due to the son's action (presumably something the son found funny but had a negative impact on her). The second quotation is an apology but doesn't directly show the theme. The third one just shows the mom's reaction but not as strongly as the first one in connecting the son's action (something he might have found funny - like setting up a water spray prank) and the mom's negative outcome (startled scream, possible inconvenience).

Answer:

"I had an important presentation at work that morning, but I was late to my meeting because I needed to change clothes," his mom said.
