Homework Help: English

I am currently reading Jack London's short story "To Build a Fire." On my study guide, I was asked "What is the one important element beside matches that the man needs to build a fire?" I would say oxygen, but I don't think this is it, because the book doesn't refer to it. Would it be usable fingers (since the man's were frostbitten?) THank you.
