Question

He remembered the advice of the old-timer in Sulphur

Creek, and smiled. The old-timer had been very serious in
laying down the law that no man must travel alone in the
Klondike after fifty below. Well, here he was; he had had
the accident; he was alone; and he had saved himself.
Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he
thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he
was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone.
What can you infer about the man from the evidence in this passage from "To
Build a Fire"?
A. He thinks that the old-timers are womanish,
B. He had an accident and he is by himself in the cold,
C. He remembers the advice of the old man in Sulphur Creek

Answer 2

Answer: C. He remembers the advice of the old man in Sulphur Creek

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is C). He is remembering what the old man Sulphur Creek said to him and he is smiling. We can see in the passage that he is explaining what that old man ben through. He is calling him the old-timer because he was old and he is enjoying in his memories.

• That is why answer D) is not correct. He is not arrogant, neither is ''the old-timer''.

• He is saying that some of them( old-timers) are womanish so the answer A) is not correct because he doesn't think that they are all same.

• The answer B) is also not correct. Yes, he had an accident but he kept his head up and survived everything.
