Who found Brian during the rescue?

• A. A fur buyer.
• B. A pilot.
• C. A fisherman.
• D. A neighbor.

Answer: (A)

The moment being tested is recalling who actually encounters Brian and helps him get back to civilization after his time in the wild. In the story, a fur buyer—someone who travels by small plane to check traps and buy furs—stumbles upon Brian signaling for help. He lands and takes Brian with him, ending the long ordeal in the wilderness. This fits the setting, where remote traders move through the area and can be the ones to notice a signal fire or a survivor.

The other possibilities don’t align with how the rescue unfolds. A neighbor or a fisherman isn’t described as the person who finds him in this remote wilderness, and while a pilot might be involved in bush travel, the text presents the fur buyer as the rescuer who locates Brian in that moment.
