1. Which choice best describes a theme of The Call of the Wild? a. Intimidation is necessary in the animal kingdom.
b. It can take persistence to build an alliance.
c. Being a tamed animal is better than being primitive.
d. It takes courage to approach strangers.

B

Explanation:

B is stating that persistence can build an alliance which is technically true and that's what buck was trying to do, more of a friendship than alliance but alliance is closest to friendship. D could be a possible answer but the main theme of this excerpt wasn't Buck needing courage. It's not C that makes no sense, it's asking for the answer that BEST DESCRIBES the THEME of the call of the wild, not your opinion on which one is better. C is an opinion which automatically makes it a wrong answer. A is automatically eliminated because Buck showed no interest in being intimidating.
