If you're looking at this now, the answer is not D. It's A. Alisha had it wrong.

Hi Da Fash!

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the provided options and see how they align with the question's context.

Option (a) states: "depict how Buck becomes a tough survivor." This option suggests that shifting the setting to Alaska allows the author to show how Buck develops survival skills. This reasoning makes sense since Alaska is known for its harsh and challenging environment.

Option (b) says: "illustrate how money can change a character’s perspective." This option focuses on the effect of money on a character's viewpoint. While money is an important aspect in The Call of the Wild, it is not directly related to the shift in setting from California to Alaska.

Option (c) states: "show John Thornton’s values remain unchanged even under difficult conditions." This option suggests that shifting the setting allows the author to depict John Thornton's unwavering values regardless of the challenges he faces. However, this is not the primary purpose of the shift in setting.

Option (d) states: "contrast the political climate of the two states during the Gold Rush of the 1800s." Option (d) suggests that the purpose of shifting the setting is to highlight the contrasting political climates between California and Alaska during the Gold Rush. While the Gold Rush is a significant historical event, it is not the primary reason for the setting shift.

Upon examining the options, option (a) aligns most closely with the question's context. The author of The Call of the Wild shifts the setting to Alaska to depict how Buck becomes a tough survivor.
