Read the prose extract below:
"The old archive building in Saint Martha’s square stood as a silent witness to a bygone era. For decades, Samuel had obsessively cataloged every land title and municipal decree, believing that paper records possessed an enduring authority over human memory. Yet, as the dampness crept through the stone foundation, turning yellowed parchments to dust, he realized that no ledger could arrest the quiet erosion of time or freeze the shifting boundaries of the town."
Which of the following central themes is primarily explored in the extract above?
- The inevitability of temporal decay over human efforts to preserve authority and historyCevap
- BThe absolute superiority of official archival documentation over oral tradition
- CThe narrator's personal regret for choosing a career in municipal record keeping
- DThe rapid economic revitalization of Saint Martha's square through urban modernization
Cevap
The inevitability of temporal decay over human efforts to preserve authority and history
The passage focuses on the contrast between human attempts to record and standardize history (Samuel's cataloging of decrees) and the unstoppable force of time (parchments turning to dust). The thematic conclusion directly emphasizes that human efforts to assert permanent control or preserve memory are ultimately subject to temporal decay.
