Question

Review the detail

In "To Build A Fire", a man lacks respect for the old-timer's warnings.
Which best explains how this action contributes to the story's main conflict?
A.His inability to find food leads to his death
B.His lack of respect for the Yukon allows him to veer off the path
C.He does not know how to build a fire and is therefore chilly
D.He does not understand how serious the cold weather is and finds himself in trouble

Answer 1

I believe the answer to this is letter D because since he did not listen to the man, he is traveling alone in the Yukon and he is now suffering the consequences. It is possible that it could be letter C because he never learned how to build a fire quickly and he was not prepared, even if the old man warned him about the dangers of the Yukon.  Hope this helps:)
