Multiple Choice In The Call of the Wild, why did Buck end up in the Yukon Territory?

B) He followed his owner to the Yukon Territory in search of gold.
C) He escaped from his home in California and wandered into the Yukon Territory.
D) He was bred and raised in the Yukon Territory for the purpose of becoming a sled dog.
The correct answer is A) He was stolen from his home in California and sold to be a sled dog in the Yukon Territory.
In The Call of the Wild, Buck ended up in the Yukon Territory primarily because:
a) He was stolen and sold to dog traders.
b) He escaped from his home in Santa Clara, California.
c) He was taken on a train to the Yukon by his owner.
d) He was lost in a snowstorm and wandered into the Yukon by chance.
The correct answer is a) He was stolen and sold to dog traders.
To find the answer to this question, we can use the process of elimination since it is a multiple-choice question. Let's go through each option:
A) He was stolen and sold by Manuel.
B) He escaped from his owners.
C) He was abandoned by his previous owners.
D) He was on a quest to explore the wilderness.
Based on the events in the book "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London, we can eliminate option B because Buck did not escape from his owners. Instead, he was taken from his comfortable life in California and sold to various owners, which means he did not choose to go to the Yukon Territory. We can also eliminate option D because Buck's journey to the Yukon Territory was not driven by a personal quest to explore the wilderness.
Now, let's consider the remaining options: A and C. Buck did end up in the Yukon Territory, but it was not due to being abandoned by his previous owners (option C). Instead, he was stolen and sold by Manuel, a gardener, which means that option A is the correct answer.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) He was stolen and sold by Manuel.
