Read the following excerpts in which Greary Weatherall from Katherine Anne Porter's "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall, and J. Alfred Prufrock, from T. S.
Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" reflect on their years of life:

For sixty years she had prayed against remembering him
and against losing her soul in the deep pit of hell, and now
the two things were mingled in one and the thought of him
was a smoky cloud from hell that moved and crept in her
head... Wounded vanity, Ellen, ... Don't let your wounded
vanity get the upper hand of you. Plenty of girls get jilted.
- 'The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" by Katherine Anne
Porter

But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought
in upon a platter,
I am no prophet - and here's no great matter,
I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and
snicker,
And in short, I was afraid.
– 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot.

Which best states the theme that is developed in both excerpts?

You are correct in the picture! It is C. I just answered this question too so I can verify it. :)

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
