Which statement is a theme?
the story teaches the importance of devoted friends.

when humbaba is defeated, the friends rejoice.
true friends remain loyal despite hardship.

Answer is D.

Explanation:

The theme is basically something you can learn from the story.

True friends remain loyal despite hardship.  

Explanation:

The theme is the message or life lesson that a story conveys about a topic. That message, which can be more than one, is not explicitly stated in the story, so the reader has to discover it on its own and express it in a single sentence. So, if a story's topic is "friendship" and "loyalty", for example, a message that the narrative conveys about that topic may be: True friends remain loyal despite hardship.
