Explanation:

A theme is a central idea of a poem or story which the writer wishes to convey to readers. A writer may have a story or poem written in such a way that the theme is non-apparent to readers. Thus, readers must digest the plot and characters to understand it. The two types are; major and minor themes.

A major theme is the most main idea or concept in a literally work, while a minor theme is an idea that appears briefly as a connection or link to others. It functions as the understated information that gives expected meaning to a story or poem.

Therefore, options B and F best describe the meaning of a dream compared to others. Both conveys the idea of what 'dreams' entail.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
