( Please answer this question, 13 points! ) Megan is writing about this excerpt from The Jungle Book.

Mowgli sprang to his feet. "Free People," he cried, "does Shere Khan lead the Pack? What has a tiger to do with our leadership?"

"Seeing that the leadership is yet open, and being asked to speak—" Shere Khan began.

"By whom?" said Mowgli. "Are we all jackals, to fawn on this cattle butcher? The leadership of the Pack is with the Pack alone."

There were yells of "Silence, thou man's cub!" "Let him speak. He has kept our law!" And at last the seniors of the Pack thundered: "Let the Dead Wolf speak!"

When a leader of the Pack has missed his kill, he is called the Dead Wolf as long as he lives, which is not long, as a rule.

Megan makes the claim "Respecting leadership is an important part of the Jungle Law.”
Which action best supports this claim?

A.) Shere Khan speaks as a leader because Akela is a Dead Wolf and too old to lead.
B.) The senior wolves in the pack allow Akela, the Dead Wolf, to speak at Council Rock.
C.) Mowgli yells at the wolves because they allow Shere Khan too much power, which angers him.
D.) Many of the wolves shout at Mowgli and do not like him because he is a man’s cub.
