Since there are no options to this question, nor have I been able to find any options online, I'll just answer with an interpretation of the excerpt.
Answer:
The theme represented by this line is that if you are an educated person, there is nothing you cannot do. Education is the secret to achieving anything.
Explanation:
In "The Phantom Tollbooth", the pencil is called "a magic staff". Its true magic relies on the person's capacity to use it. If you know Math, if you know languages, if you know any other subject that you like, you can work wonders with a pencil. It is a simple object that can bring to life your ideas, which can even change the world. That is what the Mathemagician reveals as the dialog progresses:
"But it's only a big pencil," the Humbug objected, tapping at it with his cane.
"True enough," agreed the Mathemagician; "but once you learn to use it, there's no end to what you can do."
"Can you make things disappear?" asked Milo excitedly.
"Why, certainly," he said, striding over to the easel. "Just step a little closer and watch carefully."
After demonstrating that there was nothing up his sleeves, in his hat, or behind his back, he wrote quickly:
4 + 9 − 2 × 16 + 1 ÷ 3 × 6 − 67 + 8 × 2 − 3 + 26 − 1 ÷ 34 + 3 ÷ 7 + 2 − 5 =
Then he looked up expectantly. "Seventeen!" shouted the bug, who always managed to be first with the wrong answer.
"It all comes to zero," corrected Milo.
"Precisely," said the Mathemagician, making a very theatrical bow, and the entire line of numbers vanished before their eyes.

The lake rose up like a mountain then totally disappeared leaving only a swamp of red mud. What do you think happened to the lake earthquake by Ruskin bond
Answer:
The lake was filled with water due to earthquake.
Explanation:
There is less amount of water flowing in the lake but due to earthquake the level of water rises. It is because the dam which is present at the end of lake was severely damaged and the wooden bridge was broken and all the water which is stored in the dam flow through the lake in the form of flood which takes everything with itself that comes in its way. After the flood is over only mud was left and no standing house was left.

What is the best resolution for the narrative?
Answer:
I couldn't find online what specific narrative you are referring to but I can explain a little bit about it so you can figure it out for yourself.
Explanation:
In literature, resolution is the part of the plot of the story in which the main problem is solved or terminated. It is the stage that follows the falling action and is usually where the story ends.
During this stage the questions and mysteries that appear during the story are usually answered or at least explained. All full stories have a resolution, although the author does not disclose every last detail to the reader.
