PROCTOR: Why? What did she do to you? MARY WARREN (like one awakened to a marvelous secret insight): So many time, Mr. Proctor, she come to this very door, beggin’ bread and a cup of cider— and mark this: whenever I turned her away empty, she mumbled.

But before he could cut the strings, it happened. It was his own fault or, rather, his mistake. He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree. He should have built it in the open. But it had been easier to pull the twigs from the brush and drop them directly on the fire. Now the tree under which he had done this carried a weight of snow on its boughs. No wind had blown for weeks, and each bough was fully freighted. Each time he had pulled a twig he had communicated a slight agitation to the tree—an imperceptible agitation, so far as he was concerned, but an agitation sufficient to bring about the disaster. High up in the tree one bough capsized its load of snow. This fell on the boughs beneath, capsizing them. This process continued, spreading out and involving the whole tree. It grew like an avalanche, and it descended without warning upon the man and the fire, and the fire was blotted out! Where it had burned was a mantle of fresh and disordered snow. What is the central idea of this passage? To Build a Fire, Part 2 A tree can both start and end a fire. Cold weather presents dangers besides temperature, such as snow avalanches. Disaster came when the man was most overconfident. The man made the small mistake of building the fire under a tree, and now his fire is out. https://odysseyonlinelearning.instructure.com/courses/662/assignments/68233?module_item_id=188035 13/17 11/6/24, 9:40 AM 💯 Unit 2 Test One theme in “To Build a Fire” is that inexperienced people are likely to make more errors. Which passages from Part 2 of the text provide evidence for this theme? Select all that apply. To Build a Fire, Part 2 It was his own fault or, rather, his mistake. He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree. He should have built it in the open. But it had been easier to pull the twigs from the brush and drop them directly on the fire. He made a new foundation for a fire, this time in the open, where no treacherous tree could blot it out. Next, he gathered dry grasses and tiny twigs from the high-water flotsam. He could not bring his fingers together to pull them out, but he was able to gather them by the handful. When he touched a twig, he had to look and see whether or not he had hold of it. The wires were pretty well down between him and his finger-ends. All of which counted for little. Perhaps the old-timer on Sulphur Creek was right. If he had only had a trail-mate he would have been in no danger now. The trail-mate could have built the fire. Well, it was up to him to build the fire over again, and this second time there must be no failure. Even if he succeeded, he would most likely lose some toes. https://odysseyonlinelearning.instructure.com/courses/662/assignments/68233?module_item_id=188035 14/17 11/6/24, 9:40 AM 💯 Unit 2 Test In which sentences is parallel structure used?
