The experience described in the first paragraph eventually led to the escape of Charles II, and option B is the most relevant, so it is determined that it is the correct answer.
Answer to question 37: C
One of the jobs of Spencer's book... is just how close the reader gets to the action
Answer analysis: This example is to illustrate what the question is, and the answer is usually before the specific example. At the beginning of the third paragraph, it is mentioned that one of the fun of reading Spencer's works is that readers can be very close to the situation at that time.

Options B and C conflict with this, so they are excluded.
