1. In my opinion, the correct answer is b. It highlights the dangers of the wilderness. The author doesn't just talk about various senses. He tells us how important and subtle the wolf's sense of smell is for his survival in the Northern woods, full of wild animals and predators, such as cougars and bears. The wolf is always watchful and alert.
2. I think the correct answer is <span>c. his subtle aggressiveness. The cone detail may lead us to believe that the author intends to depict the wolf's playfulness. But it is more than just that. The wolf displays another attitude in his play with the cone. He shows that he is ever capable of survival, thanks to his aggressiveness.</span>
