Each evening, Mr. Kwan straightened the chairs outside his café, aligning them carefully before locking the door. By morning, commuters had shifted them, and sometimes one disappeared altogether.

Which theme is most strongly suggested by the passage?
Small, repetitive actions can reflect deeply held values
Order is a way to control an unpredictable world
Personal routines lose meaning when they go unnoticed
People find comfort in habits that resist change

Which theme is most strongly suggested by the passage?
Time softens disappointment more effectively than success defines it
Shared experiences can outweigh the significance of a single outcome
Humor is a coping mechanism for emotional failure
Collective identity forms only through adversity

Overthinking prevents effective communication
Social interaction often creates unnecessary anxiety
