Which excerpt from The Call of the Wild best shows how the third-person-omniscient point of view helps readers understand the experiences of more than one character?

Question

“Sometimes he thought of Judge Miller’s big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley, and of the cement swimming-tank, and Ysabel, the Mexican hairless, and Toots, the Japanese pug. . . .”
“About his body there was a peculiar springiness, or resiliency, almost catlike, and a quick alertness as of one who lived in perpetual fear of things seen and unseen.”
“With the last remnant of his strength he managed to stagger along behind till the train made another stop, when he floundered past the sleds to his own, where he stood alongside Sol-leks. His driver lingered. . . .”
“There was no power of recuperation left . . . . Every muscle, every fibre, every cell, was tired, dead tired. And there was reason for it. In less than five months they had travelled twenty-five hundred miles. . . .”

Answer 1

The excerpt that best shows how the third-person-omniscient point of view helps readers understand the experiences of more than one character is:

“Sometimes he thought of Judge Miller’s big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley, and of the cement swimming-tank, and Ysabel, the Mexican hairless, and Toots, the Japanese pug. . . .”

This passage allows readers to access Buck's memories and feelings about his past life, providing insight into his character and how he contrasts with his current situation. The use of a third-person-omniscient point of view enables the narrative to convey not just Buck's experiences but also hints at the lives of other characters, such as Judge Miller and the other animals in his previous home, which deepens the reader's understanding of Buck's longing and emotional journey.
