How does a work of literature frequently express themes related to morality?

  1. By featuring characters who embody a sense of virtue and justice.

  2. By portraying characters who struggle with their inner demons.

  3. By creating situations in which a character must choose between right and wrong.

  4. By setting an example of what not to do in difficult life situations.

The correct answer is: By creating situations in which a character must choose between right and wrong.

A work of literature frequently expresses themes related to morality by creating situations in which a character must choose between right and wrong. Option A can be incorrect because not all characters who embody a sense of virtue and justice necessarily face moral dilemmas. Option B can be incorrect because not all characters who struggle with their inner demons necessarily explore moral issues. Option D can be incorrect because a work of literature can focus on moral ambiguity rather than clear-cut examples of what not to do. Therefore, option C is the most direct and accurate answer.
