1.Buck is our protagonist in the story. London comes as close to seeing life through a dog's eyes as London could get. So, the conflicts all surround Buck. The instigator for the conflict comes when Buck is kidnapped or rather dognapped from his cushy life in California. The rest of the conflicts surround his many adventures on his way to inner doggy nirvana! Any human point of view would have ruined the flow and intent of the novel.
2.
In Chapter IX of James Michener's historical novel, Alaska, gold is discovered in Nome and two of the characters based upon real people, move to this territory in hopes of making their fortunes. Once there, they encounter gold mine thieving, dangerous conditions, and dangerous men. In the setting of this novel and London's novella, Alaska is a raw, naturalistic, formidable land that is unforgiving of any weakness.
This portrayal is, indeed, realistic. With so many men journeying to Alaska in hopes of making a fortune, there would be a high demand for sled dogs. Such a magnificent specimen as the one-hundred-and-forty pound Buck. And, that he would easily revert to his more atavistic nature is also realistic as feral dogs quickly develop shorter, thicker coats and run in packs like their ancestors did.
As Buck and another large dog, a Newfoundland are put upon a ship bound for Alaska, Buck realizes that his captors
...are a new kind of men...and while he developed no affection for them, he nonetheless grew honestly to respect them.
Once in Alaska, Buck further discovers that men and dogs are both little more than savages in this raw land, with no law but the law of force ruling their lives.

Answer:
A
Explanation:
The poet shifts from the unbecoming parts of summer to telling how wonderful and beloved his love true love is.
One characteristic of Enlightenment that is seen in this excerpt is that people should be guided by the reason and not irrational fears, however serious they may seem to be. The protagonist/author of the diary seems to be the only cool-headed person in this terrible situation. Everybody else is freaking out, running about and screaming. He notices multiple times that nobody is making any effort to actually quench the fire. He is the one who goes to warn the king and suggests that houses should be pulled down. There is one very interesting remark about Lord Mayor, who is in a panic just like everyone else: "To the King's message he cried, like a fainting woman..." Misogyny aside, this comment shows the speaker's manly, reasonable, commendable attitude. He is an active person who does something to undo the damage, and not just a passive observer or a coward who runs away in panic.
A diary entry was a fitting form during the Enlightenment period because that was the first time that the words and opinions of a more or less ordinary person were deemed important. A diary has this risk of being a subjective collection of personal impressions. But Pepys' diary pretends to be highly objective because its author sees himself as a reasonable man, important in his own right, competent enough to keep a diary and record some important things that happen around him, to other ordinary people.
The correct answer is them
hope i helped :)
