Based on this excerpt, Jessica predicts that White Fang and Kiche will soon escape back into the wild.

Which line in the story is most likely to change her prediction?


"He accompanied her joyfully about the camp; and, so long as he remained close by her side, Lip-lip kept a respectful distance."

"There was something calling to him out there in the open. His mother heard it, too."

"He ran on a few steps, stopped, and looked back. She had not moved."

"The stream, the lair, and the quiet woods were calling to him, and he wanted her to come."

Answer 1

"He ran on a few steps, stopped, and looked back. She had not moved."

Step-by-step explanation:

Though Jessica predicts that White Fang and Kiche will soon escape back into the wild when Grey Beaver release Kiche from the chains, the line "He ran on a few steps, stopped, and looked back. She had not moved." will most likely change her prediction.

This is because when Kiche finally got her freedom, she got attached to Grey Beaver and the village. Both White Fang and Kiche knew that something was calling them back into the wild. White Fang was excited and wanted his mother to come along with him. However, when he finally got the chance to run into the wild, he noticed that his mother was not moving. She didn't want to go back into the wild.
