Answer

B
Buck survives because of his ability to apply the laws of club and fang to his new experiences in Alaska.
C
Buck avenges Curly’s death by using his fangs on the wolves, which shows that now he can use the law of the fang.
D
Buck will expect the comforts of home to be present in the Arctic because his experiences do not change him.

Explanation

Buck survives in Alaska by learning how to respond to its dangers. The man in the red sweater teaches him the law of the club, and Curly’s death shows him the law of the fang. Choice B correctly explains that Buck applies both lessons to new experiences; the other choices incorrectly say he seeks revenge, avenges Curly, or remains unchanged.
