Final answer:
The excerpts provided are from 'To Build a Fire' by Jack London and do not directly relate to 'Hatchet'. For Brian's main conflict in 'Hatchet', it depends on the point in the story and could be any of the survival challenges after his plane crash in the Canadian wilderness.
Step-by-step explanation:
The main conflict Brian is facing in Hatchet is not specifically mentioned in the provided excerpts, which focus on Jack London's To Build a Fire.
However, since the question is about Hatchet, we can infer that the conflicts Brian faces are survival challenges after a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness. The correct answer to the student's question depends on the point in the story where the conflict is being identified.
If early in the story, Brian may be struggling with finding food, whereas a later point might involve his desperation when a possible rescue plane misses him.
The choices reflect conflicts such as hunger, loss of hope, building a fire, and fear of animals. To correctly answer the question, one would need to refer to Hatchet directly at the specific point mentioned in the question.
