Answer:
The quote that highlights man's ignorance of the dangers of nature is:
"But all this—the distant trail, no sun in the sky, the great cold, and the strangeness of it all—had no effect on the man. It was not because he was long familiar with it. He was a newcomer in the land, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was not able to imagine."
Explanation:
"To Build a Fire" is a story written by Jack London, where we meet a man who decides to walk in the extreme cold with his dog to a shelter that is far from him. The trip will be very dangerous with the environment extremely cold and frozen, but the man ignores all the potential danger that nature can promote and showing a certain arrogance, decides to continue the trip anyway. The title of the story refers to the moment, during the trip, when the man needs to light a fire in the middle of the snow in order not to die frozen.
On the arrogance and indifference of man in relation to the dangers of nature, the narrator of the story states: "But all this—the distant trail, no sun in the sky, the great cold, and the strangeness of it all—had no effect on the man. It was not because he was long familiar with it. He was a newcomer in the land, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was not able to imagine."
