Answer:

The excerpt demonstrates that Buck is learning to C. adapt.

Explanation:

"The Call of the Wild" is a novel by Jack London. Buck, the main character, is a dog that's stolen and sold to become a sleigh dog in Canada's territory of Yukon. <u>The theme that permeates the novel is the survival of the fittest. Only those who are strong and capable of adapting themselves to the environment and new conditions survive.</u> Buck goes from being a dog living a comfortable life to a semi-wild dog leading a pack of wolves.<u> The reason behind his success is his physical strength and his adaptability. Buck learns fast. In the excerpt, he learns not to try and attack a man holding a club, for the man will use the club to beat him. Such lessons allow Buck to stay alive and to thrive even in dire circumstances.</u>
