Question

PARTI CHAPTER – THE TRAIL OF THE MEAT, an excerpt by Jack London Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean towards each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter, but of a laughter more terrible than any sadness. But there was life, abroad in the land and defiant Down the frozen waterway toiled a string of wolfish dogs. Their bristly für was rimed with frost. Their breath froze in the air as it left their mouths, spouting forth in a vapor that settled upon the hair of their bodies and formed into crystals of frost Leather harness was on the dogs, and leather traces attached them to a sled which dragged along behind. The sled was without runners. It was made of stour birch-bark, and its full surface rested on the snow. The front end of the sled was turned up, like a scrol, in order to force down and under the bore of soft snow that surged like a wave before it. On the sled, securely lashed, was a long and narrow oblong box. There were other things on the sled-blankets, an axe, and a coffee pot and frying-pan: but prominent, occupying most of the space, was the long and narrow oblong box. In advance of the does, on wide showshoes, toiled a man. At the rear of the sled toiled a second man. On the sled, in the box lay a third man whose toil was over a man whom the Wild had conquered and beaten down unol he would never move nor struggle again. It is not the way of the Wild to like movement. Life is an offence to it for life is movement and the Wild aims always to destroy movement. It freezes the water to prevent it running to the sea, it drives the sap out of the trees till they are frozen to their mighty hearts, and most ferociously and terribly of all does the Wild harry and crush into submission mana man who is the most restless of life, ever in revolt against the dictum (law) that all movement nust in the end come to the cessation of movement. Which statement most clearly sets the men in opposition to the antagonist? (1 point) O a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so long and cola enot the sprit ofte was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of loughter and most ferociously and terribly of all does the Wild horcy and crush into submission man-man who is the most restless of life. oc lo freezes the water to prevent it runding to the sea; i: drives the sop out of the grees ail:ney ore frozen to their mighty hearts, The trees had been stripped by a recertt wind of their white covering of frost na they seemed to lean towards each other, black and Ominous ​
