Question

Which of the following quotations demonstrates the idea that to be wild is to be in a more correct state?

"The snow walls pressed him on every side, and a great surge of fear swept through him – the fear of a wild thing in a trap."
"The domesticated generations fell from him."
"Buck learned easily, and under the combined tuition of his two mates and Francois made remarkable progress."
"It marked his adaptability, his capacity to adjust himself to changing conditions, the lack of which would have meant swift and terrible death."

Answer 1

Answer: "It marked his adaptability, his capacity to adjust himself to changing conditions, the lack of which would have meant swift and terrible death.

Explanation: The other quotes do little or nothing to prove that the more desirable state is to be "wild." Here, the quote essentially states that the fact that he was wild, allowed him to avoid a "a swift and terrible death." Therefore, the last quote is the best demonstration.
