Which of the following would be a supporting detail when analyzing the theme in a story?
a magical or superhuman character
a summary of the story’s events
a quote that expresses the writer’s message
a twist in the plot

B. Summary of the story's events.

Explanation:A magical or super human character would be the only one character of the story and thus providing no clue to the story. A quote expressing writer's message would not necessarily provide all the details regarding the chain of events of the story, leaving no scope for interpretation. Twist in the plot is also mere a part of the story and not the story. But apart from these three, a brief summary of the events and happenings of the story would surely help the readers to interpret the text differently and thus, deriving  various themes reflected throughout the occurences of the story. It will help the readers to understand that how different parts came together to give meaning to the story and also be able to analyze the authorial intentions behind particular events.

the correct answer is:

this is an example of the writer telling through description rather than showing through dialogue.

sometimes writers like to explain explicitely what's happening instead of adding dialogues of the situations., which is the case in this passage,
