The statement that BEST summarizes the difference in the author's purpose in these two passages is:

B The first is written about the event in general; the second focuses on one person's experiences of the event.

This option clearly distinguishes between a broader perspective in the first passage and a more personal, focused account in the second, reflecting different purposes in their writing.
