What should you first consider when beginning the close reading of a passage? whether the passage is at the beginning, middle, or end of the novel whether the passage concerns the main character whether the passage contains the main conflict whether the passage clearly reflects the theme of the novel

whether the passage clearly reflects the theme of the novel

Explanation:

A passage should always refer to the original text, so it is important that a passage clearly reflects the theme of the novel, so that the reader perceives this theme at the moment a careful reading of that passage begins. This is because when the reader begins to carefully read a passage, the first thing to consider is whether the passage clearly reflects the theme of the novel.
