Read this excerpt from White Fang.It was during this period that he might have harkened to the memories of the lair and the stream and run back to the Wild. But the memory of his mother held him. As the hunting man-animals went out and came back, so she would come back to the village some time. So he remained in his bondage waiting for her.Which best describes the force that motivates White Fang’s choice in the excerpt?
Answer
A
an internal force based on instinct
B
an internal force based on feeling
C
an external force based on setting
D
an external force based on conflict
Explanation
White Fang could return to the Wild, but he chooses to stay because he remembers his mother and hopes she will come back. That hope and attachment are feelings within him, so the motivating force is an internal force based on feeling. Choice A is tempting because survival instincts matter elsewhere, but this passage specifically emphasizes his memory of his mother.
