​

The statement which best identifies a theme of the text is: A. take a stand on what you think is right, even if it might negatively impact you.

In English literature, a theme can be defined as the salient abstract point, underlying meaning, or fundamental and main idea of a literary work that is revealed directly or indirectly, depending on a writer's (author's) or speaker's choice.

This ultimately implies that, a theme is typically used by a writer (author) or speaker to directly or indirectly reveal the salient abstract (important) point in a a literary work.

Based on the excerpt from the passage "A&P," by John Updike (1962), we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the main idea is about two among the three girls who wore only bathing suits weren't so good with their dress sense and walking steps, but the third demonstrated good dress and walking etiquettes, which shows she stood for what is right, regardless of its impact on her person.

Complete Passage:

'In walks these three girls in nothing but bathing suits. I'm in the third check-out slot, with my back to the door, so don't see them until they're over by the bread. The one that caught my eye first was the one in the plaid green two-piece. She was a chunky kid, with a good tan and a sweet broad soft-looking can with those two crescents of white just under it, where the sun never seems to hit, at the top of the backs of her legs. I stood there with my hand on a box of HiHo crackers trying to remember if I rang it up or not. I ring it up again and the customer starts giving me hell. She's one of these cash-register-watchers, a witch about fifty with rouge on her cheekbones and no eyebrows, and I know it made her day to trip me up. She'd been watching cash registers forty years and probably never seen a mistake before.

By the time I got her feathers smoothed and her goodies into a bag -- she gives me a little snort in passing, if she'd been born at the right time they would have burned her over in Salem -- by the time I get her on her way the girls had circled around the bread and were coming back, without a pushcart, back my way along the counters, in the aisle between the check-outs and the Special bins. They didn't even have shoes on. There was this chunky one, with the two-piece -- it was bright green and the seams on the bra were still sharp and her belly was still pretty pale so I guessed she just got it (the suit) -- there was this one, with one of those chubby berry-faces, the lips all bunched together under her nose, this one, and a tall one, with black hair that hadn't quite frizzed right, and one of these sunburns right across under the eyes, and a chin that was too long -- you know, the kind of girl other girls think is very "striking" and "attractive" but never quite makes it, as they very well know, which is why they like her so much -- and then the third one, that wasn't quite so tall. She was the queen. She kind of led them, the other two peeking around and making their shoulders round. She didn't look around, not this queen, she just walked straight on slowly, on these long white prima donna legs. She came down a little hard on her heels, as if she didn't walk in her bare feet that much, putting down her heels and then letting the weight move along to her toes as if she was testing the floor with every step, putting a little deliberate extra action into it. You never know for sure how girls' minds work (do you really think it's a mind in there or just a little buzz like a bee in a glass jar?) but you got the idea she had talked the other two into coming in here with her, and now she was showing them how to do it, walk slow and hold yourself straight.
