Explanation:

1) If you actually read the story you'd know that Will's Mother did not want him to deliver the horses because she thought he was too young.

2) I've read the story, done the test, and gotten every answer correct.

3) In the beginning of the passage it explain how Will's Father, John Clark, dropped a stone on his foot last week.

4) Both John Clark, and his Mother don't know if he should go but still he  does because his Father, John Clark, believes in him that he will complete the mission more than his Mother.

5) John Clark really wishes that he could go but he injured himself. Therefore, stating he would rather go than his youngest son.

(Off topic but Will's Mother says in the end of this paragraph "Now I have <Insert Number> son's serving in the army.")

answer: buck is a dog living a charmed life on the estate of judge miller, during the time of the klondike gold rush in 1897. he is the king of all the animals on the estate and as such enjoys special privileges, such as the run of the estate and the admirable position of being the judge's favorite dog.

this all ends the day he accompanies manuel on a walk through the orchard to a flag station, where manuel sells him to a stranger. manuel sells buck, because he has gambling debts he needs to pay and a family to support.

this one act changes buck's life irrevocably. it is the catalyst for the rest of the story about buck and his transformation from domestic pet to wild animal.
