Cohen Bailey · Answer 1

The answer seems to be B.

He cannot defend himself from the circumstances that lead him from California to Alaska. Alaska is a barren landscape that forces him after many trials to go back to the original life a dog is meant to live.

D is not the best answer because California and Alaska are symbols of two different lifestyles a dog would live. The could be any place that is warm and sunny to start with (like Arizona) and harsh and cold like the Yukon.

C is the second best answer, but it is just a fact. B is a result of the hardship.

A is true, but it is like saying I live in a house because I don't like living outside when it's 30 below. A says nothing about what resulted for being in one place and going somewhere else.
