CCR.W.5

My favorite photograph of my father shows him squatting on his heels, trowel in hand, behind a golden heap of onions freshly pulled from the ground.
At this point, the writer is considering adding the following true statement: “I have many photo albums, and each one includes pictures of my father in various poses.”
Should the writer make this addition here?

Yes, because it informs the reader that the photograph he describes in the preceding sentence is not the only one he has of his father.

Yes, because it informs the reader that the writer is more than an amateur photographer.

No, because it contradicts the writer’s claim that the photograph he describes in the preceding sentence is one he also treasures.

No, because it distracts the reader from the main focus of the paragraph and does not logically fit at this point in the essay.
