Explanation: In Part A, we are asked what the theme of the poem is. The best answer is "Parents play an important role in helping their children view themselves positively." The speaker uses his experience of learning how to drive from his father to show how he learned to be confident from him. The praises his father would pay him helped build a solid foundation for self-confidence. Hopes this helps!
