Read this excerpt from paragraphs 19 and 20 of Chapter 5.

One of the onlookers, who had been ​clenching his teeth to suppress hot speech​, now spoke up:

"It's not that I care a whoop what becomes of you, but for the dogs' sakes I just want to tell you, you can help them a mighty lot by breaking out that sled.

How does the phrase “clenching his teeth to suppress hot speech” add to the meaning of the speech?

• It adds fuel to Hal’s and Charles’ frustration as they try to get the dogs to pull the sled.

• It reinforces the opinions of the onlookers who suggested the trio lighten the load on the sled.

• It reveals the onlooker’s anger who lacks respect for the men because of their treatment of the dogs.

• It illustrates the good­natured humor of the onlookers who find the failure of dogsled team comical.
