Two weeks later, word came that the perp would see me and I parked the only luxury I'd ever allowed myself, a white BMW, in the dusty lot of the prison. I'd ended up using the car almost as much for storage as for transportation. File folders, tapes, and the kind of ephemera that true crime writers collect without even trying. a high school annual that I needed to return; family photos that always looked like they'd been plucked from the nicest family in the world - that is, the nicest family that spawned a killer - and reams of MapQuest printouts that led me from trailer park suburbia and back again. The word ephemera comes from the Greek word ephemeris, meaning "short-lived." Based on this information and the surrounding context, what is the most likely meaning of ephemera as it is used in paragraph 15? a. Printed matter of passing interest b. Various items used to record information c. Temporary works that include clues to a crime d. Borrowed objects meant to be quickly returned
