Read this excerpt from White Fang.Furthermore, it was remarkably easy to overthrow a dog taken by surprise; while a dog, thus overthrown, invariably exposed for a moment the soft underside of its neck—the vulnerable point at which to strike for its life. White Fang knew this point. It was a knowledge bequeathed to him directly from the hunting generation of wolves. So it was that White Fang's method, when he took the offensive, was: first, to find a young dog alone; second, to surprise it and knock it off its feet; and third, to drive in with his teeth at the soft throat.Which best describes the force that influences White Fang’s fighting method?

A
an external force based on setting
B
an external force based on authority
C
an internal force based on feelings
D
an internal force based on instinct

Jerome is paraphrasing a portion of White Fang to support his idea that the pup feels safer in the American Indian camp once he becomes familiar with his surroundings. Which is the best way to paraphrase supporting evidence from the text?

A
White Fang thought the tepees were scary at the beginning, but he looked around one and felt better.
B
White Fang is afraid of the tepees at first, so he investigates one cautiously. After sniffing and nibbling the canvas, he grabs a corner in his teeth and pulls hard enough to make it wobble. Once he sees that the tent will not hurt him, he is not afraid anymore.
C
“After a time, he left Kiche’s side and crawled cautiously toward the wall of the nearest tepee . . . [H]e smelled the strange fabric, saturated with the man-smell. He closed on the canvas with his teeth and gave a gentle tug. Nothing happened, though the adjacent portions of the tepee moved.”
D
“He tugged still harder, and repeatedly, until the whole tepee was in motion. Then the sharp cry of a squaw inside sent him scampering back to Kiche. But after that he was afraid no more of the looming bulks of the tepees.”

I looked over at my brother and raised my hand to my mouth to quiet the giggle I felt rising in my throat. My brother was making funny faces at me from across the room.
