Just checking some of my answers, read the story like a million times and still felt a little unsure about these lol.
6. In the Call of the Wild, Mercedes wanted to pack the amenities of a Pullman. What does this mean?
A. She wanted to bring all the comforts normally found on the sleeping car of a train. <-------
B. She wanted to pack only the basics normally found on the trail.
C. She wanted to pack supplies normally found in the pack of a famous traveler.
Of course now that I ask for help, I might find it as soon as I read it over again, that tends to be typical sometimes.
Yes, A.
