The correct answer here is definitely A.
The excerpt shows the wilderness it is dog eat dog world and the only the strongest will survive. This is even explicitly said in the sentence:
<span>The
blood-longing became stronger than ever before. He was a killer, a
thing that preyed, living on the things that lived, unaided, alone, by
virtue of his own strength and prowess, surviving triumphantly in a
hostile environment where only the strong survived.
</span>
<span></span>The wilderness does not care and it is a hostile environment and if you want to survive you have to strong.
<span />
Is there work you can make up? I can try and help with that
In World War 2, you could help to hide Jews in a sort of sewer. The Government keeps tracks of most Jews, yet you could attempt to hide people, or at least give water, food, or a safe place. It may bring yourself to death back then, yet it would have a possibility to save at least some Jews.
Answer:
The author was trying to convey the apathetic attitude of the rich towards the workingman.
Explanation:
The terms used by the author highlighted the negative ways the rich French class and the ruling class viewed the poor workingman. The term louts for example means an uncouth or aggressive person while the term Jack was used to describe the ordinary man who rendered services to the rich.
The author's use of these terms would help the reader to see how lowly the government thought of the poor to the extent that they failed to consider them and were taken unawares at the peasants' revolt.
