PLZZZ HELP ASAP

Read the excerpt from Jungle Book: Mowgli's Brothers.

There were yells of "Silence, thou man's cub!" "Let him speak. He has kept our law!"; and at last the seniors of the Pack thundered: "Let the Dead Wolf speak!" When a leader of the Pack has missed his kill, he is called the Dead Wolf as long as he lives, which is not long, as a rule.

Akela raised his old head wearily: –

"Free People, and ye too, jackals of Shere Khan, for twelve seasons I have led ye to and from the kill, and in all that time not one has been trapped or maimed. Now I have missed my kill. Ye know how that plot was made. Ye know how ye brought me up to an untried buck to make my weakness known. It was cleverly done. Your right is to kill me here on the Council Rock now. Therefore I ask, who comes to make an end of the Lone Wolf? For it is my right, by the Law of the Jungle, that ye come one by one."

This excerpt best supports which theme?

Youth is more important than wisdom.
Leadership is hard and lonely work.
Silence has greater power than words.
Nature is a place of peace and calm.

Leadership is hard and lonely work.

Explanation:

The "dead wolf" is the leader of the wolf pack. In the third paragraph, he says that he hasn't let anyone die or get hurt- "Not one has been trapped or maimed". He also says that the wolves set him up to fail- "Ye know how ye brought me up to an untried buck to make my weakness known". From this, the reader can gather that even though he is a good, responsible leader, the wolves trick him into missing his prey, which would lead to his death.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
