The correct answer is B by explaining an important mapping mistake.
In many texts, particularly those discussing historical events or treaties, a paragraph that focuses on a significant error—such as a mapping mistake—often sheds light on misunderstandings or challenges that affected the central theme of the passage. This helps illustrate the complexity of historical relationships and decisions, contributing to the overall central idea.
