On page 14 of The Call of the Wild, Jack London writes, "In vague ways he remembered back to the youth of the breed." This statement is
an example of the racial unconscious.
Answer: Option A.
Explanation:
The Call of the Wild is an adventurous novel authored by Jack London. The story is based on a central character who is a dog named ‘Buck.’
When the writer writes, ‘In vague ways he remembered back to the youth of the breed’, he is referring to the term racial unconscious. It means an act of remembering something but without any awareness. Every human being shares some ancient memories which are somewhere stored in the unconscious part of their mind.
In the novel we can see that the author remembers his days to the youth of breed in some indistinct ways, thus referring to racial unconscious.
The sentence which uses coordinated syntax is B) Tim and Ricky like to race cars, go to baseball games, and cook hamburgers on the grill.
Coordinated syntax means that two equal sentences are joined together with one of the following conjunctions: <em>and, or, but</em>. The two sentences joined must be equal, which means that they must both be independent and able to stand on their own. For example, in B the sentences "<em>Tim and Ricky like to race", "They go to baseball games" </em>and "<em>They cook hamburgers on the grill</em>" could stand on their own without depending on one another.
On the contrary, in A, the second sentence depends on the first one and so the syntax is not coordinated but subordinated. The same happens in D. In C, the two sentences are not joined and so we cannot talk about coordinated syntax.
The passage intends to show Huck's father as uneducated and ignorant, as shown in the second answer option.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The excerpt shown above is a speech by Huck's father.
- In this passage, he shows a strong aversion to education and doesn't want Huck to go to school.
- That's because he thinks the school will make Huck superior to him, allowing Huck to be ashamed of his father.
- In that case, he wants Huck not to be educated, like him, so that Huck will never feel superior.
This shows how ignorant and uneducated Huck's father is, wanting Huck to match his ignorance.
