The other answer to this question is completely wrong. Tried to report it but Brainly, in all it's loveliness, won't allow me to. The actual answers are:
<em>-The world is a place of unlimited opportunities.</em><em> </em>
<em>-The world is a place of abundance. </em>
Some of these words may be unfamiliar to most and if you don't understand the meanings of these words it is 100% possible to completely misinterpret the point in the text. If you look up the words profusion, jubilantly, unthwarted (thwarted is what pops up but you get the point), and adversity it would help a lot. Even if you already know what these words mean or have an idea, it's good to be sure because they're key words to understanding what this text is actually trying to get across. Have a nice day !
Compare all of the authors choices of figurative language and then see the differences between the two
C is the smoothest combination of the two. There is no reason to have sentence 11 and 12 separated.
In this excerpt from Jack London’s short story “To Build a Fire,” which sentences best show that the protagonist could be seen as prideful in his abilities rather than ignorant of his surroundings?
A) he was feeding it with twigs the size of his finger
B) those old timers were rather womenish, some of them, he thought
C) any man who was a man could travel alone
D) lifeless they were, for he could scarcely make them move together to grip a twig, and they seemed remote from his body and from him
The sentence "any man who was a man could travel alone" shows the best that the protagonist could be seen as prideful in his abilities and not ignorant of his surroundings.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the sentence that has been shown above, the thoughts of the protagonist and his believes about the travelling are shown. He believes that a man who is actually a man and who has confidence in himself and believes in the abilities that he has, can travel alone any where. He is not afraid of the problems that he would face while travelling from one place to the other be it any where.
By reading these sentences, it is shown that he believes that he is a true man and totally believes in his abilities. He is rather very proud of the abilities that he has. It is a clear proof that he is very confident of himself and he is rather not ignorant of the things that surround him. He is not ignorant of his surroundings.
