What evidence from "To build a fire" might lead you to this inference

This question is missing the inference. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

What evidence from "To Build a Fire" might lead you to this inference "The man is too confident."

The evidence that leads to the inference "The man is too confident" is:

"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."

Explanation:

The main character in Jack London's short story "To Build a Fire" ends up freezing to death, defeated by nature while traveling in bad weather on his own. As a matter of fact, we may say that this man was killed by his own arrogance. Nature did not do anything special or more violent to put him down. It was his exacerbated confidence in himself and his abilities that made him go out by himself. An old-man, more experienced and, therefore, wiser, did warn him not to do so. The man, however, chose to ignore his advice. As we know, the archetype of the old man works as a guide, a mentor in stories and movies. Heeding their advice brings success. Ignoring it, as this man did, results in tragedy.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.

i think that the answer is substandard.
