Answer:
A. To establish a straightforward and matter-of-fact tone
Explanation:
This is an excerpt from the short story "The Nose" written by Nikolai Gogol. Gogol wrote that way, because he wanted to set a direct and practical tone for the readers. Gogol did not want to use allegories, metaphors or any other figure that embellishes the message that the author wishes to pass, he wanted to be direct and objective.
