But, you must know, your father lost a father;
That father lost, lost his; and the survivor bound
In filial obligation for some term
To do obsequious sorrow; but to presever
In obstinate condolement is a course
Of impious stubbornness, ’tis unmanly grief
–Hamlet,
William Shakespeare

Ответ:
Claudius is detached and critical.
Explanation:
This is an excerpt from Hamlet, a famous Shakespeare's play about a man (Hamlet) who seeks revenge on his uncle, Claudius, for murdering his father. Claudius is a new king and has also married Hamlet's mother upon his brother's death.
Claudius wants Hamlet to think of him as his new father. Moreover, he is trying to balance the grief over his brother's death and the happiness over his new marriage. Neither is possible, however. In this particular excerpt, Claudius criticizes Hamlet for mourning for so long. He argues that every person must lose a father at certain point, but it is stubborn to mourn for too long. His point is that, if everyone dies eventually, why should we be sad? This makes Claudius detached and critical, as he shows no sympathy for what Hamlet is going through.
Ответ:
The man will realize the wisdom of the old-timer’s warning.
Explanation:
"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.
