Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in this excerpt from Jack London's "To Build a Fire" best shows that the main character regrets his foolish decision to take
risks and ignore what others have told him?
The old-timer on Sulphur Creek had told him about it the previous fall, and now he was appreciating the advice. Already all sensation had
gone out of his feet. To build the fire he had been forced to remove his mittens, and the fingers had quickly gone numb. His pace of four
miles an hour had kept his heart pumping blood to the surface of his body and to all the extremities. But the instant he stopped, the
action of the pump eased down. The cold of space smote the unprotected tip of the planet, and he, being on that unprotected tip,
received the full force of the blow. The blood of his body recoiled before it. The blood was alive, like the dog, and like the dog it wanted to
hide away and cover itself up from the fearful cold. So long as he walked four miles an hour, he pumped that blood, willy-nilly, to the
surface; but now it ebbed away and sank down into the recesses of his body. The extremities were the first to feel its absence. His wet feet
froze the faster, and his exposed fingers numbed the faster, though they had not yet begun to freeze. Nose and cheeks were already
freezing, while the skin of all his body chilled as it lost its blood.
