Read the excerpt from an adaptation of "To Build a Fire."

But he was safe. There was the fire, snapping and crackling and promising life with every dancing flame. He remembered the old-timer on Sulphur Creek who had warned him that no man must travel alone in the Klondike after fifty below. Yet here he was; he had had the accident; he was alone; and he had saved himself. Those old-timers were rather womanish, he thought, smiling to himself.

What is the best prediction, based on the details of this excerpt?

The man will forget how to build a fire.

The man will form a group with other travelers.

The man will be recognized for his superior survival skills.

The man will realize the wisdom of the old-timer’s warning.

"To build a fire" is a short story by Jack London, this story is about a man who travels to the Yukon ignoring the warnings from an old-timer about the deathly Yukon winters (where temperatures can reach 40 below)

In this excerpt we can see the man saying he was safe, remembering the old-timer warning and thinking that the old-timers were "rather womanish". We can see that he thinks that the warning was not real and that he was safe and will be able to survive and deal with the subzero temperatures of the Yukon, thus, the best prediction based on this excerpt is that he will likely won't be able to continue with this streak of "safeness" and he will realize the wisdom of the old-timer's warning.
