breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. at once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. conversation ceased. daylight came at nine o'clock. at midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. but the rose-colour swiftly faded. the grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land. as darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics. at the conclusion of one such panic, when he and henry had got the dogs back in the traces, bill said: "i wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone." "they do get on the nerves horrible," henry sympathized. they spoke no more until camp was made. which is the main antagonist in this section of the text? the source of the hunting-cries the sled dogs in their traces the two men at odds with each other the wishful thinking of the men

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

The answer is indeed A) the source of the hunting-cries.

Explanation:

As we know, when it comes to literature, an antagonist is usually a character that opposes the main character (the protagonist). That definition is a bit too simple, though. An antagonist can be anything that offers some sort of conflict or hostility, maybe a challenge for the main characters.

In the excerpt we are studying here - taken from Jack London's "White Fang"-, we clearly have a conflict of Man vs. Nature. The characters are in a most inhospitable place where the cold itself already poses a terrible threat. But, in this particular part of the story there is something disturbing the sled dogs, creating even more conflict and difficulties for the characters to face. The disturbance is caused by the hunting-cries they can hear coming closer from "right and left and rear". The characters have a hard time controlling the dogs, and even complain that the cries are getting on their nerves. They wish the men who are hunting would go somewhere else and leave them alone.

Read this excerpt from chapter 1 of The Scarlet Letter using comprehension strategies.In accordance with this rule, it may safely be assumed that the forefathers of Boston had built the first prison-house, somewhere in the vicinity of Cornhill, almost as seasonably as they marked out the first burial-ground, on Isaac Johnson's lot, and round about his grave, which subsequently became the nucleus of all the congregated sepulchres in the old church-yard of King's Chapel.

What is the meaning of this excerpt?
A.The prison and cemetery were built early, with the cemetery expanding in size from its original plot.
B.The prison was built near Cornhill, and the cemetery was built on an important man’s property.
C.Just as Puritans gathered at the prison, they also gathered at the cemetery and the church.
D.The forefathers of Boston chose the two most famous landmarks: the prison and the cemetery.

Answers

A is the correct answer. It can be observed from the fact that the forefathers of Boston built both buildings that they were created early on in the city’s history. The cemetery’s expansion is clear from the subsequent congregation of sepulchres, or tomb monuments, around the grave of Isaac Johnson.

- “they marked out the first burial-ground, on Isaac Johnson's lot, and round about his grave”

 

Based on those two key sentences, it can be concluded that the founders of Boston built a prison house and burial-ground at that time, which later became part of the history of the city of Boston.

 

“which subsequently became the nucleus of all the congregated sepulchers in the old church-yard of King's Chapel.”
