Read the excerpt from White Fang. "Kiche!" the man cried again, this time with sharpness and authority.

And then the cub saw his mother, the she-wolf, the fearless one, crouching down till her belly touched the ground, whimpering, wagging her tail, making peace signs. The cub could not understand. He was appalled. The awe of man rushed over him again. His instinct had been true. His mother verified it. She, too, rendered submission to the man-animals.

Which best states the perspective of White Fang’s mother in the excerpt?

She is preparing to attack the man to show her authority.

She is puzzled by her cub’s actions in front of the man.

She is confused about how she should act in front of the man.

She is hoping to please the man by showing her obedience.

She is hoping to please the man by showing her obedience.

Explanation:

The best that states the perspective of White Fang’s mother in the excerpt is "She is hoping to please the man by showing her obedience".

This can be seen in the attitude she portrayed. She crouched down, her belly touching the ground. This showed that she actually displayed her obedience in order to please the man. Also, the last line of the excerpt revealed that she rendered submission to the man-animals.

So, option D is the correct answer.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
