I got this question on Odysseyware and this was the answer I used...Hope this helps!!!
The italicized part of the sentence could be the thesis for "Influence of Lincoln" because it brings Addam's idea together that Lincoln was a remarkable person, with much wisdom, intellect, perception, and most importantly, high morals to be capable of progressing and protecting a nation's democracy. It idealizes the point that Lincoln was no ordinary man, and that no ordinary man has the power to make an impact on society as strong as Lincoln did, if they do not portray the same or similar characteristics.
It may not be a thesis however, since it is embedded within one of her many stories in the chapter. A thesis should typically be placed towards the beginning of the chapter, to summarize the main points, and this sentence was towards the end of the chapter.
1) It was quite necessary not only for Buck, but also for others struggling to survive in the wild North. If he hadn't killed Spitz it it could have been very dangerous for others because he was very aggressive due to the hunger. Even though he was the leader, blinded by hunger he could do anything to survive, forgetting about the rest of dogs.
2) If he hadn't died he could have get many other innocent lives, like he had done to Curley. This character yielded to the external conflict of the harsh wild conditions, and his instings were much more powerful than his sense of justice so he could have bring harm until he reached his own safety.

Sentence is a group of words which makes a complete sense.
The answer is C simile because the text says <span> "I would,"
Like the poor cat i' the adage?" Similes use like and as to compare 2 unlike things! Hope this helps now and with future questions that are similar!!!</span>
