Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved. Everywhere in the garment district, by the front gates of little shops and big ones, picketers marched and sang. "O Dubinushka," they sang, and "Tortured and Enslaved," and other Russian folk and revolutionary airs. Icy rains poured down on them, some were in danger of frostbite — a winter of record-breaking cold had already begun — but there they were and there they stayed.

The union men were amazed. "There never was anything like it," one ILGWU official declared. "An equal number of men never would hold together under what these girls are enduring.”

How would a careful rereading of this excerpt help a reader understand who made up the ILGWU?

A. The reader could make a connection between the quote by one ILGWU official and the author’s reference to “union men” just before it.
B. The reader could make a connection between the quote by one ILGWU official and the reference to “these girls” in the same quote.
C. The reader could make a connection between the quote by one ILGWU official and the author’s description of “other Russian folk” in the first paragraph.
D. The reader could make a connection between the quote by one ILGWU official and the descriptive phrase “they sang” in the first paragraph.

Which sentences from part 1 of the call of the wild would best serve as evidence of the theme "sometimes survival depends on knowing when not to fight"? buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity. to be sure, it was an unwonted performance: but he had learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit for a wisdom that outreached his own. he had merely intimated his displeasure, in his pride believing that to intimate was to command. but to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. he saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. he had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. that had given them an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, he would show them. they would never get another rope around his neck.
