Answer 1

B. with the main character as an 85-year-old man, deep in thought about everything he has been through over the course of his life.

Starting the story with the main character reflecting on his long, full life allows for a rich exploration of his memories, experiences, and lessons learned, setting a reflective tone that can engage readers right from the beginning. It also establishes a sense of nostalgia and wisdom that can be woven throughout the narrative as he recalls key moments from his past.
