The correct answer is B) deciding on the scope of the topic.
<em>The task that is part of narrowing down a subject paper is deciding on the scope of the topic. </em>
It is very important for the writer to know the extension and the variables of the topic it is going to write about. Knowing the scope of the topic means that the writer limits the information to what is necessary and important for the reader to know. This way the writer will know what data or information to include that is important for the comprehension of the topic and what is not. This is the way to ensure that the information is clear, specific and to the point.

Contrasting:
The theme of <em>The Story of My Life</em> by Helen Keller is that you are able to do anything you put your mind to, even if you are physically impaired in some way.
The main theme in the excerpt of <em>The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass</em>, is that you can learn how to do things even if you are of a different ethnic background.
In other words, the main character in the story are different in different ways (one is blind, the other was of a different ethnicity)
