Question

Read this excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.

Mowgli sprang to his feet. "Free People," he cried, "does Shere Khan lead the Pack? What has a tiger to do with our leadership?"

"Seeing that the leadership is yet open, and being asked to speak – " Shere Khan began.

"By whom?" said Mowgli. "Are we all jackals, to fawn on this cattle butcher? The leadership of the Pack is with the Pack alone."

Which line from "If" shares a similar theme?

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;

Answer 1

B) If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Jungle Book, Shere Khan has the crowd of younger wolves following him around like the jackals do (because he scares them and also feeds them scraps) and letting him influence them negatively. They are not keeping to the Law of the Jungle, similar to talking "with crowds and not keeping their virtue."
