Question

Read the excerpt from White Fang.

The man who had spoken came over to her. He put his hand upon her head, and she only crouched closer. She did not snap, nor threaten to snap. The other men came up, and surrounded her, and felt her, and pawed her, which actions she made no attempt to resent. They were greatly excited, and made many noises with their mouths. These noises were not indications of danger, the cub decided, as he crouched near his mother, still bristling from time to time but doing his best to submit.

Which best states the perspective of White Fang in the excerpt?
White Fang is excited and happy to see his mother again.
White Fang recognizes the men and lets them play with him.
White Fang feels responsible for protecting his mother from the men.
White Fang is unsure of how to act and only trusts his mother.

Answer 2

The sentence that states the perspective of White Fang in the excerpt is White Fang is unsure of how to act and only trusts his mother.

Step-by-step explanation:

This excerpt presents how white fang sees his mother accepting the leadership of man, and he hesitates on doing the same, but since he trusts his mother he follows her and acts as she does, the line "he crouched near his mother, still bristling from time to time" shows that he submits but not completely.
