read the passage from the novel hatchet.a cloud of sparks rained down, most of them missing the nest, but some, perhaps thirty or so, hit in the depression and of those six or seven found fuel and grew, smoldered and caused the bark to take on the red glow.then they went out.close—he was close. he repositioned the nest, made a new and smaller dent with his thumb, and struck again.more sparks, a slight glow, then nothing.its me, he thought. im doing something wrong. i do not know this—a cave dweller would have had a fire by now, a cro-magnon man would have a fire by now—but i dont know this. i dont know how to make a fire.from gary paulsen, hatchet. copyright 1987 by gary paulsenwhich of the following best describes this characters perspective about creating fire?he is relieved that his hard work and effort are paying off.he is annoyed that he doesnt have the tools that a cave dweller would have.he is certain that building a fire is simple and requires little effort.he is frustrated that he hasnt learned the proper technique.

Explanation:

The character tries repeatedly to start a fire without success, then compares himself unfavorably to prehistoric people who he believes would have succeeded easily, expressing frustration at his lack of knowledge to do the task. The other options are incorrect: he is not relieved (his attempts fail), not annoyed about lack of tools (he blames his own lack of knowledge), and does not think fire-building is simple.

Answer:

He is frustrated that he hasn't learned the proper technique.
