Explanation:

The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from Jack London's essay "Husky-The Wolf Dog of the North." We can notice this passage has two purposes.

First, let's pay attention to the fact that is begins with "But the husky is far from uninteresting." What London is doing here is trying to show his readers that they should pay attention to Huskies, that there is something captivating about them.

Then, he moves on to explain how Huskies are a result of natural selection, how they are the product of evolution and an amazing example of "survival of the fittest". He is now offering information about the breed, about its capacity to endure and adapt.

Therefore, as we can see, London's two purposes in this passage were to inform the reader about huskies and to persuade the reader that huskies are interesting.
