Answer:

His use of descriptive details and figurative language brings the chaotic, brutal reality of war to life for the reader

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to choose the best thesis statement for an essay that analyzes the author's writing style.

This is important because options A, C, and D don't talk about his style. They talk about his experience. The only option that directly talks about his writing style is option B.
