It’s kind of saying if you’re too focused on one thing you’ll only find that one thing and if you’re only wanting to hear one thing you’ll only hear what you want to, sort of like close mindedness, and you won’t be able to see the other good things going on around you

1.Buck is our protagonist in the story. London comes as close to seeing life through a dog's eyes as London could get. So, the conflicts all surround Buck. The instigator for the conflict comes when Buck is kidnapped or rather dognapped from his cushy life in California. The rest of the conflicts surround his many adventures on his way to inner doggy nirvana! Any human point of view would have ruined the flow and intent of the novel.

2.

In Chapter IX of James Michener's historical novel, Alaska, gold is discovered in Nome and two of the characters based upon real people, move to this territory in hopes of making their fortunes. Once there, they encounter gold mine thieving, dangerous conditions, and dangerous men. In the setting of this novel and London's novella, Alaska is a raw, naturalistic, formidable land that is unforgiving of any weakness. 

This portrayal is, indeed, realistic. With so many men journeying to Alaska in hopes of making a fortune, there would be a high demand for sled dogs. Such a magnificent specimen as the one-hundred-and-forty pound Buck. And, that he would easily revert to his more atavistic nature is also realistic as feral dogs quickly develop shorter, thicker coats and run in packs like their ancestors did.

As Buck and another large dog, a Newfoundland are put upon a ship bound for Alaska, Buck realizes that his captors

...are a new kind of men...and while he developed no affection for them, he nonetheless grew honestly to respect them.

Once in Alaska, Buck further discovers that men and dogs are both little more than savages in this raw land, with no law but the law of force ruling their lives.

What sequence of processes transports water from the ocean into a cloud? Evaporation and condensation. Condensation and freezing
drek231 [11]

Answer:

1. A. Evaporation and Condensation.

2. A. In glaciers and icecaps.

Explanation:

The process of water cycle begins with the Sun heat evaporating water from the water bodies such as ocean, sea, etc. Then the water vapor condenses to make clouds, and when clouds precipitates, they come back to the earth in form of rain. So, the sequenced process of transportation of water from the ocean into a cloud is evaporation and condensation. Thus option A is correct.

The majority of the Earth's fresh water is stored in glaciers, icecaps, and snows. A good volume of fresh water is found in glaciers, permanent snow, and ice caps located in polar regions. These water sources holds upto 68 percent of fresh water. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
