Read this excerpt from White Fang. Hated by his kind and by mankind, indomitable, perpetually warred upon and himself waging perpetual war, his development was rapid and one-sided. This was no soil for kindliness and affection to blossom in. Of such things he had not the faintest glimmering. The code he learned was to obey the strong and to oppress the weak. Grey Beaver was a god, and strong. Therefore White Fang obeyed him. But the dog younger or smaller than himself was weak, a thing to be destroyed. Which best describes the force that influences White Fang's code of conduct? an external force based on other characters an external force based on the wilderness setting an internal force based on White Fang's feelings an internal force based on White Fang's instincts

Marlie Brandt · Answer 1

An external force based on other characters.

Explanation:

A conflict is an important ingredient in the development of the plot of the novel or the drama.

There are two types of conflict: internal and external.

And external conflict is further divided as character vs other character, character vs society, character vs nature.

The novel "White Fang" is written by Jack London.

In the given excerpt, the conflict is external and the type is character vs other characters.

In this excerpt, the other character which is in conflict with the White fang is Grey Beaver, Fang's first owner. Grey Beaver beats White Fang when he tried to follow her mother. And with this instance, White Fang learned a code of conduct i. e., to obey the strong and to oppress the weak.

So, the correct option is the first one.
