Answer: A. A party of fourteen, including several artists and architects, accompanied Champollion. Deciding to dress like natives, they wore turbans on their heads, gold-embroidered jackets, and yellow boots.

The first option is the one that better proves the thesis. The rhetorical analysis argues that the author uses description to help readers visualize the events in the story. This first option contains the most vivid descriptions, by referring to the turbans, the gold-embroidered jackets and the yellow boots. The other options simply state the events that ocurred without elaborating on the details.
