Lance is writing a literary analysis of “To Build a Fire” and its connection to historical events. Which is the best example of a clear topic sentence for his analysis?

Choice B links London’s depiction of unsuccessful prospectors to the historical experience of people searching for treasure around the turn of the century. Choice A is mainly a personal opinion about the author’s lesson, while C recommends the story rather than making an analytical claim.
