But all this-the mysterious, far-reaching hair-line trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strange

ness and weirdness of it all-made no impression on the man. it was not because he was long used to it. he was a newcomer in the land and chechaquo and this was his first winter. the trouble with him was that he was without imagination. he was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances.
based on the evidence in this passage from "to build a fire" which statement is most likely the theme?

A. being part of a community is more important than relying solely on yourself

B. animals are instinctive creatures and can help humans to survive the cold.

C. imagination and realizing the significance of events is an important part of survival.

D. the man is new to the yukon territory and is traveling alone for the first time.

Answer:

C. Imagination and realizing the significance of events is an important part of survival.

Explanation:

<em>To Build a Fire</em> is a short story written by Jack London. It tells about a man who sets out to hike through the forest on Yukon territory despite the warnings of those surrounding him about the cold. He is accompanied only by a dog, an animal whose instincts keep it wary. The man has lost the touch with his instincts, and as the narrator says in the given excerpt, he was without imagination and wasn't alert of the significances. That's what cost him his life in the end.

The theme of this passage is that imagination and realizing the significance of events is an important part of survival. The emphasis is not on him being new to the Yukon territory and traveling for the first time. If he had imagination, paid attention to significant things, and listened to the warnings of those around him, he probably would've survived.

There is nothing about animals helping humans or the importance of being a part of the community in the given excerpt.

This is why option C is the correct one.

How do Mary Shelley's allusions to Milton's Paradise Lost in the novel Frankenstein help readers interpret the story?
Katarina [22]
Base on my own research and further understanding, I would say that the answer would be that they are important because the creature realizes upon reading paradise lost that he resembles Adam and Satan and that there are many parallels in their relationship to their creator and in his relationship to his creator.
