Question

Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild.

From every hill slope came the trickle of running water,
the music of unseen fountains. All things were thawing,
bending, snapping. The Yukon was straining to break
loose the ice that bound it down... Air-holes formed
fissures sprang and spread apart.…. And amid all this
bursting, rending, throbbing of awakening life, under
the blazing sun and through the soft-sighing breezes,
like wayfarers to death, staggered the two men, the
woman, and the huskies.
The sensory details in this passage best help the
reader to imagine
O the harsh weather conditions of winter.
O the hardships of the humans and dogs.
O
the sense of hope that the characters feel.

Answer 2

D the sights and sounds of early spring

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The sensory details in the above passage best help the reader to imagine the sights and sounds of early spring. The author mentions that all things were ‘thawing’ and ‘awakening of life’ which is an indication of the departure of the winter season and the arrival of the spring season and that helps reader to visualize it well.

The rest of the options are incorrect because the sensory details tell more about spring rather than the harsh winter or the hardships of humans and dogs.
