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.

Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.
Alona [7]

Answer:

Female factory workers had to work long hours, sometimes up to eighty hours a week.

Explanation:

Joan Dash provided a poignant and eye-opening historical account of the women's factory strike of 1909 in "We Shall Not Be Moved." This provides an insight into what the condition was like for women and also how the Women's Trade Union League came to be.

In the given passage from the text, the narrator reveals how the women's demand was simple: <em>"a fifty-two-hour week with extra pay for overtime, an end to the fines and petty tyrannies, and a living wage." </em>And in order to understand what the basis of the demands were, we have to know the situation of workers, especially female workers during the early 1990s. And the fact that <u>women workers were expected to work for long hours, at times even up to eighty hours a week</u> was too much for any living being to endure.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
