Question

what happens to the third fire? a. it burns steadily and helps to warm the mans frozen feet. b. it goes out because the mans hands are too frozen to tend it. c. it goes out when the dog accidentally kicks snow over it. d. it burns out of control and starts a huge forest fire.

Explanation:

This question refers to Jack London's To Build a Fire. In the story, the man's third fire is extinguished when he cannot properly tend it—his hands are frozen stiff, making him unable to feed the fire or protect it, and snow from a tree falls onto it. Option B aligns with this key plot detail.

Answer:

B. It goes out because the man's hands are too frozen to tend it.
