<u> C. skip the general directions and go straight to the first section.</u>
To do this may be a big mistake since the general directions of a test contains keys information and guidelines on how to answer the questions properly (For example, to use a minimum or maximum of words in a composition, to select no more than two options in multiple selections, to be aware of certain aspect of the test, etc.). If they are not taking into account, it is highly possible that the answers will be qualified as incorrect for not following the guidelines given, even if the content of the answer is correct.
The correct answer is a night on the town.
When Doolittle meets Higgins and Pickering, he actually wants to sell his daughter to him for five pounds. He thinks she will have a better life there and he will spend that money "wisely." This are his actual words:
<span><em>"Just one good spree for myself and the missus, giving pleasure to ourselves and employment to others, and satisfaction to you to think it's not been throwed away. You couldn't spend it better."</em></span>
Jack London wrote “The Call of the Wild” as a short adventure novel. He published it in 1903. The story is set in Yukon, Canada, during the 1890s when strong sled dogs were in high demand, this is really important to mention because the central character of the novel, Buck, the dog, was stolen from its owners and sold as a sled dog. Buck becomes gradually savage in the hard environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primitive instinct and arises as a leader in the wild.
Perhaps the strongest main idea of the passage is:
that sometimes pride is the only thing that can push you to survive in harsh environments, sometimes the only manner to thrive and progress in difficult situations is reversing to feral instincts and letting the wild animal inside of you to take control and fight your way to the top.
It symbolizes a lonely, jealous outcast..
