Which of the following describes a main point made about chiefss in the excerpt from Ancient Greece? A chief's status is passed from father to son, The young chief is less powerful than a king. A chief's status depends on the strength of his following. The well-known chief Odysseus brags about raiding expeditions.​

I believe that the answer would have to be "A chief's status is passed from father to son".

C). To explain why the animals of the jungle typically do not kill human beings.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from 'Jungle Book', Kipling's key purpose is 'to elucidate to the readers that why the animals of the Jungle do not kill humans usually' which is clearly reflected through the portrayal of strict laws of the Jungle('law of the jungle...never orders anything without a reason).

The author serves his purpose of informing the readers about the reason for which the animals eat up a man and that is 'when the man poses a threat to them' which began with 'arrival...men on elephants..with guns...hundreds of brown men with gongs ...rockets and torches' that made all the animals suffer. This justifies the law of the jungle that animals are allowed to kill humans only  'when he is killing to show his children how to kill' to protect themselves in the future. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
