Read this excerpt from The Outsiders. Soda tries to understand, at least, which is more than Darry does. But then, Soda is different from anybody; he understands everything, almost. Like he’s never hollering at me all the time the way Darry is, or treating me as if I was six instead of fourteen. I love Soda more than I’ve ever loved anyone, even Mom and Dad.

Which statement best states the theme of this excerpt?

People are alike inside.
Hardship builds character.
Kindness creates loyalty.

Hi! your answer would be  the women's association.  here's why:   "the childrens toys" should be "the children's toys".  there's no apostrophe anywhere, and should go after "children". it does  not go after the 's' because children is already plural, and you usually only add an apostrophe after a plural noun ends with an s, like boys or girls, for example. that is the boys' toys."the women's association", is correct.  it's kinda like the one above.  "the childrens' toys", is not correct. reason why is explained in the first one.  "none of these" isn't correct, because "the women's association" is correct.  hoped i and if you have any more questions, ask me.  -dawn
