From these answers, I think that the best one would be "It shows that the writer's memory is imperfect and sets up the reason for the trip. It is not the first one, because it is just a guess that he is old. It is not the second one, because the writer knows how to write, just not what to write about. It is not the final one, because in the text it does not say that memory is a better source of writing.

A contribution of the French Revolution to English thought was _____. the idea and goal of equality for all Napoleon's theories
jonny [76]
<span>A contribution of the French Revolution to English thought was the idea and goal of equality for all.
The English didn't really follow Napoleon's personal ideas about empire, but what they did take from the French Revolution is the idea that they should all be equal, that there shouldn't be a particular social stratum which is above everyone else (the way it used to be). That's why they also rebelled, spurred by the French, in order to get their own rights.
