Read this excerpt from the call of the wild by jack london.

by afternoon, perrault, who was in a hurry to be on the trail

with his despatches, returned with two more dogs. "billee"

and "joe" he called them, two brothers, and true huskies

both. sons of the one mother though they were, they were

as different as day and night. billee's one fault was his

excessive good nature, while joe was the very opposite,

sour and introspective, with a perpetual snarl and a

malignant eye.

why does the author include this detail?

a. it is a part of the exposition that describes buck's

teammates.

b. it is a part of the exposition that shares perrault's family

tree.

c. it is a part of the rising action that describes a brutal dog

fight.

d. it is a part of the rising action that shows buck making

friends

Correct answer is A: It is a part of the exposition that describes Buck's  teammates.

Explanation:

The story follows a dog named Buck, and all the misfortunes that happen to him. At one point of his life, he becomes a sled dog. It is true that in the lines following the mentioned paragraph, the author mentions that Buck welcomed these two dogs, but the accent of the story isn't really on Buck making friends. Also, there is mention about Spitz beating Billie and how Buck and Sol-leks got into a fight, but the accent of these paragraphs isn't on the fight. The writer rather focuses on the personal characteristics of each dog, which means that this is exposition that describes each of Buck's teammates.

the correct order is:

you're your own worst enemy:

they're going to say what they say, but

their opinions aren't holding you

back. it's your self-defeatist

attitude that's keeping your work

from getting its due.
