Brief Explanations

In Jack London's To Build a Fire, the story is set in the Yukon where the temperature is explicitly stated as 50 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit), which is 50 degrees below freezing (32°F is freezing, so 32 - (-50) = 82 degrees difference from freezing, but the question asks how many degrees below freezing, which is 50, represented as -50 here).

Answer:

C. -50
