From the story, Jimmy Wells and Bob were friends and lived in New York City before their paths diverged. Jimmy stayed in New York while Bib moved to
the West but they promised that they'll meet twenty years later at a particular restaurant.
After twenty years, Bob waited at the restaurant. The irony was that a policeman then passed who asked Bob what he was doing and he explained to him but Bob didn't know that the policeman was his friend who he was waiting for which is Jimmy Wells.
Later, a plainclothed officer arrived who Bob thought was Jimmy Wells but wasn't him and he later realised that the first officer was indeed Jimmy Wells.
Answer: A
Explanation: B is an experience and doesn't give us a reason why, C is just the fact that other people have been doing it, and D is a comeback to a common objection to journal writing.
A good way of thinking about it is that A is the direct reason, and the rest is sort of supporting evidence. A would be the topic sentence in a persuasive essay, and the rest might come after it.

Duty, in a way, contributed to the shallowness and failure of Ivan's life. Not because duty in itself is bad, but because it has become Ivan's only preoccupation, apart from pleasant life. Tolstoy's negative view of duty is seen in the second half of this sentence: "he considered his duty all things that were so designated by people in authority". So, we are talking about duty as Ivan sees it, and Ivan sees it as it was designated by people in authority. That means, Ivan structures his life and his priorities according to the view of those above him. His only ambition is to try and climb the social ladder. When he fails to do it, he is disappointed and has to find another obsession - of course, materialistic one. And that is the decoration of his new house. That's when he falls down and injures himself - so, indirectly, his materialism has cost him his health and, ultimately, his life.
