rtain our governor, who was elected to govern all the people, will decide to do what is just." I felt myself speak aloud before I was ready. Who said that? It sounded like me, but the words . . . where had they come from? The white reporters wrote my words down and behaved as if what I said was very important.

Memorandum
Rudiy27

This memorandum contrasts this year's restaurant with the last year's one, as it mentions that this time it will be a different place. Then, the email sender starts adding contrastive arguments in which he describes how different it will be this year by using adverbs such as 'furthermore', 'also', 'lastly'.

In a way, the memorandum also relates to sentences A, B and D as it includes them (the difference in the types of desserts, breads, waiters, waitresses, etc.). However, these are isolated aspects of the whole message and that is the focus here. That is why the difference concerns the restaurants because the elements 'bread', 'waiters', 'vegetables' are part of them while restaurants are the essential element that encompasses the rest.
