Which two excerpts from Jack London’s "To Build a Fire" most clearly hint at the attitude that contributes to the main character

’s death?
Group of answer choices

Fifty degrees below zero was to him just precisely fifty degrees below zero. That there should be anything more to it than that was a thought that never entered his head.

He was used to the lack of sun. It had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.

It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe.

The man flung a look back along the way he had come. The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice. On top of this ice were as many feet of snow.

He knew that at fifty below spittle crackled on the snow, but this spittle had crackled in the air. Undoubtedly it was colder than fifty below—how much colder he did not know. But the temperature did not matter.

In what way can sentence structure affect the tone of a written work?
Serggg [28]
Sentence structure affects the tone of a written work because of the way you put words in a sentence. As human, we tend to get offensive easily. Of course, you won't be able to please everybody, but using simple sentence structure, you give off a great vibe.
Hopefully, this was useful!!!
