Plzzz helpppp

Read this excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.


Akela never raised his head from his paws, but went on with the monotonous cry, "Look well!" A muffled roar came up from behind the rocks – the voice of Shere Khan crying, "The cub is mine. Give him to me. What have the Free People to do with a man's cub?" Akela never even twitched his ears: all he said was, "Look well, O Wolves! What have the Free People to do with the orders of any save the Free People? Look well!"


Based on the imagery in this excerpt, which conclusion can be made about Akela?


Akela quickly loses patience with someone as cowardly as Shere Khan.

Akela is a ferocious fighter that will fight an enemy to the death.

Akela has trouble keeping his control over the pack of wolves.

Akela keeps calm in stressful situations and is not easily upset or disturbed.

Akela keeps calm in stressful situations and is not easily upset or disturbed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Akela is a gray lone wolf and the leader of the Pack. He is wise and fair, making decisions and keeping the Pack working and strong from the top of Council Rock.

He went out of his way to protect Mowgli as a cub and this debt is repaid when Mowgli saves the jungle from the red dogs. Akela is a source of great knowledge and inspires great respect from the rest of the Pack.

He's kind and honorable, unlike most of the other wolves. The younger wolves want Akela gone, because they feel Akela is old and they feel they don't need a leader.
