The answer would be a. Jargon
Henry David Thoreau graduated in 1837 and worked as a schoolmaster, after a short time he started to write poetry.
He stopped paying taxes against slavery and was later arrested , then Thoreau was incentivated due this reason to write his famous essay, "Civil Disobedience", at the same time US declared war against Mexico and invated the nation. So he thought that taking people's liverty wasn't honest.
In conclusions Thoreau believed that a person oews his allegiance or loyalty to justice, even I you need to disobey the law.
I believe the answer is A because he says "I was fearful of losing a bargain."
I'm not sure what the story "To Build a Fire" is, but I hope I can help you by telling you that "third person" is when the characters/protagonist are described through "he", "she", etc. and "omniscient point of view" is all seeing, therefore, options 2 and 4 are impossible.
