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.

This (happen) about five years ago. I (come). Turkey where I (be) on holiday with some friends who (rent) bungalow in the mounta
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:This happenned about five years ago I came Turkey where I was on holiday with some friends who rented bungalow in the mountains not far from Ankara, the capital anyway, we sat in the plane and just  took off when there was a loud bang from the right hand side of the plane and we can see a lot of smoke coming from one of the engines. Of course, everyone started looking around but the plane carried on flying normally. And then a few minutes later the pilot came on to the PA and said there was a problem with one of the engines and we'd have to return to the airport. I felt pretty nervous, I can tell you, but I tried to concentrate on my book, and about ten minutes later we landed without any problems. We had to wait for about an hour and then we got back on the plane. Actually, it was a different plane and I was pretty relieved that it was.​

Explanation:Sorry It might not be the best answer. But I hope it helps you even if a little bit.
