In order to discover the theme of a magical realist story, the reader can analyze the recurring topics/issues characters talk about/struggle with.
An example of it can be found in Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera", which is a work of magical realism. The main character experiences unrequited love and never gives up. Throughout the whole book, the poor man keeps hoping his beloved one will some day give in to his advances. We can say the theme of this magical realist story is the invincible power of true love.
Another work by García Márquez (his most famous one), "100 years of Solitude", revolves around the Buendías, a family who lives in the fictional municipality of Macondo. It is another work of pure magical realism, since there is the rain that lasts for many years and also the woman who lives to be much more than 100 (really much more). It shows successive generations of the same family and also how certain characteristics can be inherited. The theme here is that of the relevance of kinship.
In Thomas Hardy's <em>Hap</em>, the speaker ponders about how it would be more bearable to think that all of his misfortunes happen because a greater power has decided so, than the <em>reality </em>(by his perspective) which is that his <em>bad luck </em>in life was a result of random chance and unfortunate coincidence.
Because of his ponderance, we could say that this poem shows a reflective speaker. While some people think that this shows a pessimist thinker, Hardy was known for his realistic vision of life.
Therefore, your best answer is reflective.
"Many animals die prematurely in zoos because they are exposed to infectious diseases." is the only quote that has anything to do with the claim, "Zoos must improve conditions so that they can meet the health and safety needs of the animals." because it is the only one that has to do with the early of the animals.
