Can someone please find the theme of this short story? A whole sentence, not just a word (I'll give the best answer brainliest ^^)

Which statement is general rather than specific? a) "marian anderson was one of my favorite singers." b) "next thing you know, everything changed for marian." c) "she was born in philadelphia, the oldest of three girls." d) "marian's remarkable life story was an inspiration to me."

What if the author had used “looked at” instead? punishment would be deemphasized. punishments would be seen as less harsh. the meaning wouldn't change.

Which of these statements are true about pardoners tale
