Answer:
Explanation:
is naked feet warm by the fire, rubbing them at first, of course, with snow. The fire was a success. He was safe. He remembered the advice of the old-timer on Sulphur Creek, and smiled. The old-timer had been very serious in laying down the law that no man must travel alone in the Klondike after fifty below. Well, here he was; he had had the accident; he was alone; and he had saved himself. Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone. But it was surprising, the rapidity with which his cheeks and nose were freezing. And he had not thought his fingers could go lifeless in so short a time. Lifeless they were, for he could scarcely make them move together to grip a twig, and they seemed remote from his body and from him.
The best choice is option C: 'The other assented gladly, and thus they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends.' This is because 'thus' implies that ratifying the truce was a consequence of the other party gladly assenting, which fits the context of the story.
In examining the underlined section marked as number (25), we need to identify the most suitable conjunction to use following 'and'. The sentence currently reads 'The other assented gladly, and previously they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends.' In this context, 'previously' sounds off because it suggests an action that happened before the current one, which doesn't add up in the story. The best conjunction would be 'thus'. This implies that ratifying the truce was a direct result or a consequence of the other party gladly assenting.
So, the rectified sentence should be 'The other assented gladly, and thus they ratified the truce which assured to each a safe return to his friends.' Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
