This gerund verb form of "investigating" fits into the sentence the best, continuing after the word "including" that precedes it. The gerund "evaluating" also keeps the verbs in the sentence consistent throughout.</span>

Answer: C: courage helps people survive in danger
Explanation:
The question requires choosing the option that best states the theme of an excerpt from The King of Mazy May, by Jack London. In the excerpt, Walt Masters courageously escapes his pursuers by attacking them with his whip and pushing their wheel dog, which makes "courage helps people survive in danger" the best possible description for the theme. There are no references to honesty nor beauty coming from within. Friendship, trust, and patience are not present in the excerpt either.
