PART A: Which of the following identifies the author’s main claim in the text?

A
Dystopian fiction exaggerates existing problems in our reality to show readers what could happen if society continues down a certain path.
B
Both utopian and dystopian fiction are used to warn readers about the risks of attempting to alter a society in any way.
C
While dystopian fiction is entertaining to read, it doesn’t reflect realistic concerns with our current society, or a possible future society.
D
Both Utopian and dystopian fiction are used to distort reality to the point in which it is no longer recognizable or realistic.

As per the question, option A i.e. 'Dystopian fiction exaggerates existing problems in our reality to show readers what could happen if society continues down a certain path' reveals the main claim that the author presents in the text.

It reveals the author's key argument that dystopian fiction(which is contrary to utopia) portrays the future vision and presents the prevailing issues of the society in an elevated manner to show the consequences of following such a path of conflicts, technological control, environmental ruin, and oppression.

However, it adopts a pessimistic and negative approach by assuming the society as dehumanizing yet it allows the readers to foresee the consequences of their present involvement in these issues and take an initiative to rectify them. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
