Character and Setting in "To Build a Fire," Part 1

Question 1 • KS-English Language Arts 9 CR

Which detail gives the reader information about the location of the story?

Answer

A

“The man flung a look back along the way he had come.”

B

“The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice.”

C

“It was all pure white, rolling in gentle undulations where the ice jams of the freeze-up had formed.”

D

“North and south, as far as his eye could see, it was unbroken white.”

Explanation

The Yukon is a specific geographic location, and the detail says it lay a mile wide beneath the ice. This gives the reader information about where the story takes place. The other choices describe the man’s actions or the snowy landscape without naming a location.
