Answer:

B.) They employ figurative language.

Explanation:

Note, the word figurative language basically refers to the used of words to communicate in a way that what is said or written does not follow a regular (literal; simple) meaning rather is to be understood in a more complex or unique (symbolic) way.

In the first excerpt, the use of the phrase "he took the tortillas out of his poetry" is to be understood symbolically. Similarly, in the second excerpt, the expression "the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head," the reader observes a personification of the object, 'tree', this is a good example where figurative language can be observed.

Andreas93 [3]

I don't know if there are options to choose from, but I'll explain what happened. Pike was a dog who refused to do his duty one morning, but hid and kept sleeping. So, Spitz, who is the alpha male, the leader dog, punishes Pike. Buck, the dog-hero of the story, tries to interfere and clash with Spitz, but to no avail because Francois, the human leader, whips him. So, Spitz manages to punish Pike for his disobedience.
