Read this excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Akela never raised his head from his paws, but went on with the monotonous cry, "Look well!" A muffled roar came up from behind the rocks – the voice of Shere Khan crying, "The cub is mine. Give him to me. What have the Free People to do with a man's cub?" Akela never even twitched his ears: all he said was, "Look well, O Wolves! What have the Free People to do with the orders of any save the Free People? Look well!" Based on the imagery in this excerpt, which conclusion can be made about Akela? A) Akela quickly loses patience with someone as cowardly as Shere Khan. B) Akela is a ferocious fighter that will fight an enemy to the death. C) Akela has trouble keeping his control over the pack of wolves. D) Akela keeps calm in stressful situations and is not easily upset or disturbed.

The correct answer is D) Akela keeps calm in stressful situations and is not easily upset or disturbed.

Explanation:

The excerpt presents a dialogue between two characters, which are Shere Khan and Akela. In this, Shere Khan tries to scare Akela by demanding him to give Shere Kan the kid. This can be seen in "The cub is mine. Give him to me", despite this threaten Akela remains completely calmed, this can be concluded because Akila does not change his position "Akela never raised his head from his paws"; "Akela never even twitched his ears" and instead he only answers to Shere Khan with a witty answer by stating the wolves or Free People do not have anything to do with outsiders of the pack in "What have the Free People to do with the orders of any save the Free People?", and therefore they should not obey Shere Kna. Thus, this excerpt shows the calmed position of Akela in stressful situations (Option D).
