Answer:

The event affects the development of the plot as it reveals that Buck is bored and his mind starts to wander. The right choice for this question is Option B.

Explanation:

The excerpt from “The Call of the Wild,” points towards that part of the book where Thornton, Pete and Hans along with Buck and half a dozen other dogs, went looking for a mine in the East that as of then no one had been able to discover.

The journey was long, for numerous weeks. In spring, they were able to find the place and the men did most of the work of bringing the gold out of the mine. The dogs didn’t have any work except for dragging around the meat that Thornton hunted for them and Buck would relax near the fireplace thinking about wandering with his master in the other world he remembered.

uh, the answer is d i guess.
