✅ Correct Option: 1
Précis = means a summary, which is shorter than the original. So calling a book a "précis" of a letter (which is usually short) is illogical. Hence, option 4 is eliminated.Fallout = negative connotation (damage, consequences). Inappropriate here. Hence, option 3 is eliminated.Chart = usually data-focused; not natural in metaphorical or philosophical writing. Hence, option 2 is eliminated.
✅ Option 1:"Map" of sorts = figurative; maps represent journeys → here it metaphorically represents the journey or layout of feminist thinking. Common phrase: "a map of the soul", "a map of ideas"."Version" = A slightly altered form of the original. Fits well for a book derived from a letter.
