Answer: B. We are biased towards Buck’s perspective because he is the narrator.

D. The reader can feel Buck’s emotions through the words.

Explanation: We are biased towards Buck’s perspective because he is the main character and we see things from his point of view and feel more connected to him. This can also indicate that we can also feel Buck’s emotions through the words because it is being told about him. I hope this was helpful, and good luck on your test! :3
