I’m also stuck on this question
A. The importance of appearances
If you provided the historical background it would be more possible to answer your question. And I think there should be an options to choose. But I'll help you as I've found the similar question with options and background. So the answer is "<span>D. so our national policy in foreign affairs has been based on a decent respect for the rights and dignity of all nations, large and small."</span>
I actually just did this as a project for my English class. Basically, they both create meaning by telling you of the struggles they went through. In "gumption" Oyster and his boy are dealing with racial injustice. In "to build a fire" he is challenged with surviving in the wilderness in the middle of winter. (hope I helped)
