Question

The Law of the Jungle, which never orders anything without a reason, forbids every beast to eat Man except when he is killing to show his children how to kill, and then he must hunt outside the hunting grounds of his pack or tribe. The real reason for this is that man-killing means, sooner or later, the arrival of white men on elephants, with guns, and hundreds of brown men with gongs and rockets and torches. Then everybody in the jungle suffers. ( Excerpt)

A : Shere Khan obeys the law or the jungle
B: Shere Khan needs to hunt Mowgli, even though it is against the law of the jungle.
C : Shere Khan places all of the jungle animals in danger by breaking the law of the jungle.
D :Shere Khan hunts Mowgli because the law of the jungle permits him to

Answer 1

C because this is the right answer

Answer 2

C. Shere Khan places all of the jungle animals in danger by breaking the law of the jungle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shere Khan hunts Mowgli because he wants to, not because he needs to. (eliminating B) If shere khan obeyed the laws of the jungle, then he wouldn't hunt mowgli. (eliminating a and d) that leaves c which makes the most sense.
