Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. "one of them" refers to a memory, so "memory" is the most appropriate.
  2. "tiny" and "small" are redundant, so the most concise option is chosen.
  3. The repeated imagery in the essay is related to memory as a river, so C maintains that imagery.
  4. "In the end" indicates a conclusion, and "However" shows a contrast which is appropriate here.
  5. The parallel structure "that we have... and that we have" is maintained by option A.
  6. The sentence with "river of memory" connects to the previous idea of memory as a river, so A is correct.
  7. "small moment" is more appropriate than "small detail" in this context as it is more in - line with the overall theme of writing about moments.
