The answer is 2, but many students chose 1. I think 1 also makes sense if "the filing system" is used as a metaphorical sense in the answer. Why do you think 1 is not a good candidate? Or do you have any different opinion?

ex)As we all know, some things that are available for longer than 20 seconds are in fact available years and even decades later in our memory. This is what the term "permanent memory" refers to. Such material is metaphorically "in the Files." But we also know all too well that other information - information that was still clearly available in memory after 20 seconds or even after 20 minutes - is gone a day or two later. This sort of everyday experience is what the concept I am calling "holding memory" is about. Metaphorically, we can say that such material is "on top of the filing cabinet." it is there at hand; it is ready to be fitted into the Files; but it is also subject to being knocked off onto the floor and lost.
Q. What is the theme of the writing? 2
1. the filing systems of holding memory and permanent memory (x)
2. the difference between permanent memory and holding memory (0)
3. the metaphorical use of permanent memory and holding memory(x)
4. the limitations of memorizing clearly available information.(x)
