Read this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, and identify the meaning of the words in bold based on their context

I managed to find the complete exercise on the Internet, given that you haven't provided us with all options given to you. 
1. cogitating = contemplating
To cogitate means to think about something (cogito in Latin literally means 'to think). Contemplating means to mull over a couple (or a lot) of options which is what Mr. Gamefield is doing in the excerpt above - he is thinking of ways to pay his rent.

2. cudgeling = beating
A cudgel is a short stick which you can use as a weapon. So if you cudgel something or someone, it means that you are beating them with a cudgel, because it is a thick stick, almost like a bat. So this person was metaphorically cudgeling his brain, but literally cudgeling his donkey.

3. regaled = rewarded
The verb to regale has two meanings - it can either mean 'to entertain someone,' or it can mean 'to supply someone with something.' Here, the latter meaning is used - the donkey thought he would be given a cabbage-stalk or two for his hard work.

What is the overall tone of white fang the story and why does the author choose this tone.
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Desperation and the struggle to survive. He is in a harsh environment and every person and animal must strive to survive the elements.

Explanation:

White Fang has the instinct to survive and is used to dealing with what nature throws his way. His natural instinct is to hunt and fight. White Fang does not want to be a pet; he is there to do a job and he knows what he is supposed to do in order to survive. Man does not always acknowledge that he may not know all of the ways in which to fight and hunt to survive.

It is very interesting to note that both of these characters change throughout the story. It is as if White Fang gave up his independence for a life with his man. This is actually a type of "social order" that these animals would have. White Fang gives up his independence to become domesticated. Loved. Petted. Trained, not tamed.
