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.

using the achieve article "web site brings teens together-- 65 years later" answer the following question. Think about the news
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Before reading the article, it is good to know that it is a self-help article, which talks about the importance of sharing feelings.

Explanation:

The article begins by talking about the meeting of two elderly people who were together in the Nazi concentration camps when they were teenagers. In this meeting they share the situations they went through during their confinement, in addition to talking about their feelings about it and about the life they currently have, establishing a strong friendship between them.

After describing the meeting of these gentlemen, the article lists the importance of expressing feelings when we go through a difficult situation. The article does this, showing as an example the family and friends of a girl who died and how expressing what they feel helps them to overcome the sadness of the loss. However, the title of the article does not give any hint that this topic will be discussed, so it would be good to know that part of the article before reading it.
