If Sarah doesn't understand why she wrote down "1985" in her notes, she should ask her teacher what the date may stand for.

The correct answer is c (the second one in chronological order).

Sarah could also create an explanation based on the information that she does know, but there's a chance that she makes a mistake. The most accurate way of knowing what that date means is to go straight to the source: her teacher. She/He will tell Sarah what happened in that date and  she will be able to trust the data is correct.

the anecdote makes readers feel sorry for the man’s lack of heritage, then reminds readers that the man has an equally valuable heritage.
