Kim has been asked to write and reflect upon the theme of law maintaining order in society. She is using this passage from The Jungle Book.

"What is the Law of the Jungle? Strike first and then give tongue. By thy very carelessness they know that thou art a man. But be wise. It is in my heart that when Akela misses his next kill—and at each hunt it costs him more to pin the buck—the Pack will turn against him and against thee. They will hold a jungle Council at the Rock, and then—and then—I have it!" said Bagheera, leaping up. "Go thou down quickly to the men's huts in the valley, and take some of the Red Flower which they grow there, so that when the time comes thou mayest have even a stronger friend than I or Baloo or those of the Pack that love thee. Get the Red Flower."

Which writing sample best reflects this important theme in the passage?

Wisdom is an important part of life. In this passage, Bagheera encourages Mowgli to be wiser. Wisdom keeps people and animals safe.
Laws keep citizens safe and protect society. In this passage, Bagheera warns Mowgli that once Akela is gone, the Pack will try to harm Mowgli.
Friends are strong, but power is stronger. Bagheera encourages Mowgli to get new friends and not trust anyone. This will give him more power.
