Question

Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Man early discovered death. As soon as his evolution permitted, he made himself better devices for killing than the old natural ones of fang and claw".

Explanation:

Besides of being a famous novelist, Jack London was a journalist and a social activist that believed in the power of nature and, as a result, he used a naturalist way of writing. Naturalist writing makes allusion that men is governed by an uncaring fate or an indifferent environment. In the excerpt of Jack London's "The Human Drift": "Man early discovered death. As soon as his evolution permitted, he made himself better devices for killing than the old natural ones of fang and claw", is an example of naturalist writing. It could be recognized since it deals with death as an uncaring fate for humanity and humanity himself looking for better ways of killing makes it worse.
