Question

you get lost and need shelter. what should you do first?
a begin cutting long, straight saplings.
b begin looking for food.
c look for a natural shelter.
d gather limbs and brush.

Explanation:

When lost and in need of shelter, the first priority is safety. Looking for a natural shelter (Option C) is the quickest way to protect oneself from the elements (e.g., sun, rain, wind) immediately. Cutting saplings (A) or gathering limbs (D) takes time and effort that might be better spent on immediate protection. Looking for food (B) is important but secondary to shelter as the body can survive longer without food than without proper protection from the environment.

Answer:

C. Look for a natural shelter.
