Question

why are literary themes important? select the two correct answers. (1 point)
they appear as explicit messages.
they give meaning to a text.
they act as unifying ideas.
they determine the choices of characters.
they define specific time periods.

Explanation:

Literary themes are not always explicit (so the first option is wrong). They are central ideas that give a text meaning and act as unifying elements. They don't determine character choices (characters' own traits and plot situations do that) and don't define time - periods (settings do that).

Answer:

They give meaning to a text.
They act as unifying ideas.
