The most likely conveyed theme in the passage from the old Chinese fairy-tale "The Favorite of Fortune and the Child of Ill Luck” is: Good things come to those who wait.

When the tale says that "the beggar found his fortune, and at length became emperor", it allows the reader to understand that, given the necessary time, the man in the story went from a bad situation to a great situation. The beggar who became emperor is a symbol of two extremes, and of what can happen to people who wait for time to take its course. Also, the beggar's wife, who said that she would wait for her missing husband to return, as she says " "No, I will remain his wife until I die!", demonstrates that her faith and willingness to wait ended up bringing her to an unexpectated and rewarding future. She became the emperor's wife, who took her with him to the palace and gave her magnificent garments.

The first option, "The humble are the mighty" couldn't be the correct one, because the man in the story, who once was a beggar, ended up becoming emperor, and that was the fortune in his future. So, he was only mighty when he changed his situation from being humble to becoming rich and powerful.

The third option "Time enhances beauty" couldn't be the correct option, because the story doesn't say anything specifically about beauty and time's action related to it.

The fourth option "Hard work results in good fortune" couldn't be the correct answer, because a beggar is not necessarily considered a hard-working person. Also, the story enphasizes that "at lenght he became emperor", therefore clarifying the importance of time's course, and that his wife was capable of waiting and for that was rewarded with good fortune.
