Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild.

Question

Since the beginning of the winter they had travelled eighteen hundred miles, dragging sleds the whole weary distance; and eighteen hundred miles will tell upon life of the toughest. Buck stood it, keeping his mates up to their work and maintaining discipline, though he, too, was very tired. Billee cried and whimpered regularly in his sleep each night. Joe was sourer than ever, and Sol-leks was unapproachable, blind side or other side.

Which phrase from the excerpt best shows how Buck is similar to the other dogs on the team?

“Buck stood it, keeping his mates”
“and maintaining discipline”
“though he, too, was very tired”
“cried and whimpered regularly”

Answer 1

The phrase that best shows how Buck is similar to the other dogs on the team is “though he, too, was very tired.” This indicates that Buck experiences the same fatigue as the other dogs, highlighting his shared struggle with them despite his leadership role.
