Okay third of three analyzing freezing to death V s

00:07

sulphur creek is a painful couple paragraphs to read or

00:10

write A reader can tell from the description in the

00:12

passage that the story takes place The wear Don't think

00:18

about this We know the setting of this story is

00:20

cold and snowy It's all over this passage too late

00:24

The protagonist remembers the advice He was given that well

00:27

after fifty below a man should travel with a partner

00:31

Well we know for sure that the temperatures are sub

00:33

zero Probably way sub zero which also explains why the

00:37

poor man's hands are almost frozen solid So it's got

00:40

to be be certainly during sub zero temperatures is at

00:55

running around there's no way to tell the exact location

00:57

story like it could be the arctic or siberia And

01:06

so it might be right But it's certainly not the

01:08

best answer Where during sub zero temperatures like you can't

01:12

argue that that's not at least one right answer Maybe

01:15

if i asked you to pick the two Best You

01:16

could throw that one in there but they didn't They

01:18

wanted the best So it's b and we're going to

01:21

go get a coat and a nice warm cup of 00:01:23.228 --> [endTime] soup
