C) Class distinctions

Explanation:

One of the dominant topics in the literature of Jane Austen is that of class distinctions. This was a major concern of English culture at the time. Class determined the chances that a person had in life to an enormous extent, including the partner they could have, the education they could receive, the job opportunities they got and the people and places they could frequent. Jane Austen was able to portray how important this was to people while at the same time offer some criticism. She was able to question whether this was really the best way for society to conduct itself.

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
