The text states the "Buck had destroyed the solidarity of the team" by leading the dogs to rebel against Spitz. Why would he want the unity of the group disrupted?

• to keep Spitz from being an effective leader

• to cause the men confusion and possibly letting them go

• because Buck was a bad dog who wanted to destroy the team

• because Buck didn't know the consequences of his actions

When Spitz and Buck square off, "the scene came back to Buck with sense of familiarity...this scene of old time, the wonted way of things." What does London mean here?

• This is exactly how the two dogs squared off last time.

• In Buck's memory, there are traces of the primitive dog he came from.

• Buck's been picked on before and remembers how to take care of business

• This is just a normal, average day for both dogs
