Which of the following lines gives readers a hint about how the world ended?
A falling tree bough crashed through the kitchen window. Cleaning solvent, bottled, shattered over the stove. The room was ablaze in an instant.
It quivered at each sound, the house did. If a sparrow brushed a window, the shade snapped up.
At night the ruined city gave off a radioactive glow which could be seen for miles.
Heat snapped mirrors like the first brittle winter ice. And the voices wailed. Fire, fire, run, run, like a tragic nursery rhyme...

What theme does this poem and the story share?
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war,
not one Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone."
Both share the theme that nature is indifferent to humans destroying themselves.
Both share the theme that life would carry on if humans were to destroy themselves in war.
Both share the theme that nature is beautiful and springtime is filled with rain.
Both share the theme that nature doesn't like to be disturbed.
