If a story shows friends cooperating to complete a task, what theme is demonstrated?

• A. Cooperation between friends leads to better outcomes.
• B. Only individual effort yields success.
• C. Cooperation is unnecessary.
• D. Competition is the key to progress.

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is how teamwork and cooperation influence what happens when a task is tackled. When friends collaborate, they can pool their strengths, share ideas, and divide the work so each person contributes where they’re strongest. This cooperative effort often makes the task easier and leads to better results than if one person tried to do it alone. The theme shown is that cooperation between friends leads to better outcomes. The other options don’t fit because they imply solo effort, dismiss the value of working together, or favor competition, which isn’t the message the story conveys.
