Writing an Analysis of "To Build a Fire," Part 3 — Quiz

Question 5 • 191 CR ELA 9

Which detail from "To Build a Fire" best supports the idea that there was hidden danger along the actual Yukon trail?

Answer

A

And in this fashion held the dog, while it snarled and whined and struggled.

B

When it is seventy-five below zero, a man must not fail in his first attempt to build a fire—

C

Where the soft, unbroken snow seemed to advertise solidity beneath, the man broke through.

D

He was alone; and he had saved himself. Those old-timers were rather womanish.

Explanation

Choice C shows that the snow looked solid but concealed a dangerous weak spot: the man broke through it. This directly supports the idea that hidden dangers lay along the Yukon trail. The other choices focus on the dog, the need to build a fire, or the man’s thoughts about surviving.
