Answer 1

The reader can tell Buck was sold deceitfully and only for money — he was taken from the Judge’s place and sold by a man who needed cash, not because Buck was unwanted for any other reason. Paragraph 3 explains that the man “sold” Buck to strangers to settle his affairs (it describes Buck being seized and turned over for payment), showing the sale was mercenary and done without regard for Buck’s welfare.
