As a young boy, John Pollack dreamed of building a full-size boat made entirely of bottle cork s. [A] At the age of thirty-four, Pollack sailed his dream down the Douro River in Portugal. It all began as Pollack is likely to point out, with a single cork. To amass the staggering number of corks needed to construct the boat, 165,231 in all, Pollack convinced the staff, of several restaurants in Washington, DC, to donate discarded corks for his cause. [B] Pollack eventually received cork donations from a cork-importing company based in Portugal. Pollack finally tried gluing the corks together to create stack able logs, but he soon realized that this strategy was too time-consuming . [C] He calculated that it would have taken him and one other person more then a year's worth of eight-hour days to glue all the corks needed for the boat. The completed cork boat, which resembled a Viking ship, was more impressive than Pollack had ever imagined. [D] In his childhood imagination, he had saw himself floating the boat in his neighbor's swimming pool.

The writer wants to add the following sentence to the essay: "Remember," he would say as he made his daily pick ups, "every cork counts." The sentence would most logically be placed at:

A. Point A in Paragraph 1 .
B. Point B in Paragraph 2 .
