Question

Read the following passage from The Things They Carried:

The memory-traffic feeds into a rotary up on your head, where it goes in circles for a while, then pretty soon imagination flows in and the traffic merges and shoots off down a thousand different streets. As a writer, all you can do is pick a street and go for the ride, putting things down as they come at you.
O'Brien's point in this excerpt is that writers:
A.
must train themselves how to confine their memories.
B.
should be hyper aware of their environments.
C.
have no real control over what they write.
D.
refuse to get carried away from their meticulous planning.

Answer 2

C. have no real control over what they write

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the following passage from The Things They Carried, the narrator O'brien talks about the memory feeds that enter one's head and how they circle for a while before imagination meets with one of them and ideas sprout. He is of the opinion that writers should "pick a street" and allow things to flow so that they can write down ideas as they come.

O'Brien's point in this excerpt is that writers have no real control over what they write. This is because he mentions that ideas circle and writers should go with the flow which suggests that they have no real control over what they write.
