Final answer:

Morris likely uses the example 'Our photographs drive us mad' to create a negative impression of accumulating things, aligning with the idea that reproductive media can lessen the authenticity and personal connection to our possessions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about Morris's use of examples to create a negative impression of accumulating things. While the provided excerpts do not specify which Morris is being referenced or provide the exact context in which Morris utilizes these examples, the selection that would most likely be used by an author to create a negative impression of accumulating things is "B. Our photographs drive us mad." This aligns with Walter Benjamin's idea, referenced in the provided material, that reproductive media like photographs can strip objects of their 'aura' and contribute to a sense of inauthenticity or loss. This could be linked to a negative view of how accumulation affects our sense of value and connection to objects
