How is a reader's interpretation affected by knowing the passage is from a memoir?

A memoir recounts events from the author’s own life, so knowing the genre tells the reader that the author personally experienced what is being described. That firsthand perspective can help the reader picture the event. Choice B focuses on describing a historical event, which the question does not specify; choice C incorrectly suggests distancing the author from the subject.
