6 Read the excerpt from White Fang.
The four Indians laughed more loudly, while even the man who had been bitten began to laugh. They surrounded
[White Fang) and laughed at him, while he wailed out his terror and his hurt. In the midst of it, he heard something.
The Indians heard it, too. But the cub knew what it was, and with a last, long wail that had in it more of triumph than
grief, he ceased his noise and waited for the coming of his mother, of his ferocious and indomitable mother who
fought and killed all things and was never afraid. She was snarling as she ran. She had heard the cry of her cub and
was dashing to save him.
Which best states White Fang's perspective in the excerpt?
O He is angry at the men and feeling protective of his mother.
O He is afraid of the men and relieved to hear his mother coming.
O He is unafraid of the men and amused by his mother's snarling.
O He is curious about the men and afraid of disappointing his mother.
