Answer:
The statement that most accurately paraphrases the lines is:
A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?
Explanation:
When we paraphrase, we reword the ideas expressed by someone. We do not change the ideas, nor do we summarize. We say the exact same thing, but with different words. Let's take a look at what is being said here:
<em>What knowing man knows not the ghostly,
</em>
<em>Waste-like end of worldly wealth</em>
The lines above are questioning something. They are asking, maybe in rhetorical way, what intelligent man does not know about how material wealth disappears in the end. The adjective "knowing" is the same as "knowledgeable" or "intelligent". And "waste-like end" means the wealth does not really value much. It disappears ("ghostly", like everything else.
With that in mind, we can easily see that letter A is the one conveying all those ideas:
A. What intelligent person does not know that riches disappear in the end?
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.
