Hi! :)

What is the author's intent using this unorganized format?

A) To use the shifting of topics to enhance the stream-of-consciousness style!

Letter B is incorrect because it does not state why the player is concerned about the gorilla mask. It just mentions in the paragraph that his wife scared him with it.

Letter C is also incorrect because it does not state why the player would be well-educated so this is unnecessary.

Letter D is also incorrect because the narrator did not mention the player losing his memory therefore the only correct option would be A!
