Answer:
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.

Explanation:
The right answer is “Both the memoir and the poem are about Rosa Parks, but the poem talks more about her personal feelings.” Rosa Parks was an American activist in the civil rights movement. She is known for her essential role in the Montgomery bus boycott. In December 1955, she disallowed bus driver James F. Blake's order to surrender her seat in the "colored section" to a white passenger, after the whites-only section was full. “On the Bus with Rosa Parks” is one of several sections in Dove’s book that gives voice to Rosa Parks. The use her, female voices in her poem can be outlined to Dove’s own life experiences, reflection of her own actions and emotions in times where black people were ignored, infringed upon and usually abused.
