Imagery and Events in The Call of the Wild

Question 1 • *NBHS FL-1001070-M/J Language Arts 3 A

Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild.They were simply so many bags of bones in which sparks of life fluttered faintly. When a halt was made... the spark dimmed and paled and seemed to go out. And when the club or whip fell upon them, the spark fluttered feebly up, and they tottered to their feet and staggered on.

Answer
A
forgetful of the whip
B
extremely close to death.
C
disobedient to commands.
D
desperate for safety.

Explanation

The passage describes the animals as “bags of bones” with only a faint “spark of life” left. They can barely stand, and the whip only makes them stagger onward, suggesting they are extremely close to death. So the best choice is “extremely close to death.”
