Edgar Allan Poe uses chronological events in "The Black Cat" in order to show the curve of transformation the narrator suffers through the story. At the beginning he used to like the cat very much, but after certain events that happen to him and that lead him to commit certain actions, he starts hating the cat.
Without the chronological events, the story would be very difficult to understand and we wouldn't be able to understand his internal motives to do something like that to the animal he used to love.

Answer: D. to inform readers about Blair's apology
Explanation:
The article excerpt provides information about Blair's apology in an unbiased way, meaning that it doesn´t intend to convince the reader of whether an apology was in order or not.
Option A is incorrect because the idea that British diplomats had allegedly been working non-stop is how Blair, and not the article, intends to persuade people not to blame them. Option B is incorrect because the article doesn´t ask or even hint for people to help British survivors. Option C is incorrect because the article is not meant to explain why Britons were deserted, but to inform how Blair considers they were not deserted at all.
