Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild by Jack London. And always they pitched camp after dark, eating their bit of fish, a

nd crawling to sleep into the snow. Buck was ravenous. The pound and a half of sun-dried salmon, which was his ration for each day, seemed to go nowhere. He never had enough, and suffered from perpetual hunger pangs. Yet the other dogs, because they weighed less and were born to the life, received a pound only of the fish and managed to keep in good condition. Why does the author include this detail? It is a part of the exposition that introduces the dogs’ histories. It is a part of the exposition that describes packing provisions for the trail. It is a part of the rising action that shows Buck’s interaction with the other dogs. It is a part of the rising action that explains a challenge Buck faces on the journey.

Answer:

The answer is "It is a part of the exposition that introduces the dogs' histories".

Explanation:

The point of this passage is the emphasize how the rest of the dogs, but not Buck, are already used to being satisfied with little food. They were "born in the life" and could survive with only a pound a salmon. Buck, on the other hand, felt constant hunger as the salmon was not enough.

How were Ray Kroc and Walt Disney similar?
Scrat [10]

Ray Kroc was the food critic that pushed McDonald to what it is today. Walt Disney was from a broken home until he created Disney and even today, it is a great billion dollar company. Disney was born in Chicago, so answer A would be incorrect. C would be incorrect also because Walt Disney was raised in poverty rated homes. The answer, one I cannot give you because you should need to complete it yourself, should either be D or B.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

"cleverly" and "is an expert"

Explanation:

"Subjective expressions" are <em>words, phrases or even sentences that makes a statement biased.</em> It is a person's personal thought about an event, a situation, another person and so on.

In the sentence above, the words "cleverly" and "is an expert" are both subjective expressions. The reader doesn't know what it means to "cleverly allude." The writer's way of cleverly alluding might be different from the reader. So, it goes the same way with the phrase, "is an expert." The writer personally thinks that King is expressing himself to be an expert. It is only a personal opinion and not a fact.

Both of the expressions are just according to the writer's feelings and thoughts.
