After reading of Kiche’s attack on Lip-lip, Mr. Gable’s class predicts that Lip-lip will leave White Fang alone for good.

Question

Which line from White Fang is most likely to cause the class to change their prediction?

“Lip-lip, excited by the chase and by the persistent nearness of his victim, forgot caution and locality. When he remembered locality, it was too late.”
“When at last he succeeded in rolling clear of her, he crawled to his feet, badly dishevelled, hurt both in body and in spirit.”
“In the middle of it, White Fang, rushing in, sank his teeth into Lip-lip’s hind leg.”
“Lip-lip ignored the challenge. He was no fool himself, and whatever vengeance he desired to wreak, he could wait until he caught White Fang alone.”

Answer 1

The line that is most likely to cause the class to change their prediction is:

“Lip-lip ignored the challenge. He was no fool himself, and whatever vengeance he desired to wreak, he could wait until he caught White Fang alone.”

This line suggests that Lip-lip is not deterred by Kiche's attack and is still planning to seek revenge on White Fang when he has the opportunity. It implies that Lip-lip's intent to attack White Fang is still very much alive, contradicting the class's prediction that Lip-lip would leave White Fang alone for good.
