How does paragraph 14 of “Excerpt from Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway” contribute to the story?

i cannot see any of the options

i believe it is the first choice (1.)

because the major theme is(“both the wild and civilization have rules.”)

and also as u said,( based on what buck learns within the call of the wild, "both the wild and civilization have rules".this is true of humans within society as well.
