Answer 2

Answer: A. Motif

The image of fallen leaves is an example of a motif. A motif is a recurrent image, idea or action that appears constantly throughout a text. These usually have a symbolic meaning, and contribute to developing the theme. In this case, the image of falling leaves is a motif that contributes to the theme of spring and fall.
