Which excerpt from the call of the wild best shows how the third-person-omniscient point of view readers understand the experiences of more than one character? a “sometimes he thought of judge miller’s big house in the sun-kissed santa clara valley, and of the cement swimming-tank, and ysabel, the mexican hairless, and toots, the japanese pug. . ” b “about his body there was a peculiar springiness, or resiliency, almost catlike, and a quick alertness as of one who lived in perpetual fear of things seen and unseen.” c “with the last remnant of his strength he managed to stagger along behind till the train made another stop, when he floundered past the sleds to his own, where he stood alongside sol-leks. his driver lingered. . ” d “there was no power of recuperation left . . every muscle, every fibre, every cell, was tired, dead tired. and there was reason for it. in less than five months they had travelled twenty-five hundred miles. . ”

The answer is D- The narrator is an all-knowing observer who can inform of what every character thinks and feels. Jack London tells the story of Buck "The Call of the Wild" It is  a mixed-breed dog that begins his life as a pet becomes the leader of a wolf pack in the wild. The author concentrates only on the character of Buck. He  explains Bucks´s perspective and tells the story through his experience. Interestingly, London’s narrative revolves closely around Buck and his thoughts. Yet Buck is not a person and its struggles in the wild world are told by a third person, omniscient narrator. The thoughts or emotions of other characters are not included, and only the actions of other characters are described when the main character is present or learns of them second-hand.

The answer is D

“There was no power of recuperation left . . . . Every muscle, every fibre, every cell, was tired, dead tired. And there was reason for it. In less than five months they had travelled twenty-five hundred miles. . . .”
