• read this excerpt from the call of the wild by jack london. and always they pitched camp after dark, eating their bit of fish, and crawling to sleep into the snow. buck was ravenous. the pound and a half of sun-dried salmon, which was his ration for each day, seemed to go nowhere. he never had enough, and suffered from perpetual hunger pangs. yet the other dogs, because they weighed less and were born to the life, received a pound only of the fish and managed to keep in good condition. why does the author include this detail? it is a part of the exposition that introduces the dogs’ histories. it is a part of the exposition that describes packing provisions for the trail. it is a part of the rising action that shows buck’s interaction with the other dogs. it is a part of the rising action that explains a challenge buck faces on the journey.

• rank these by reaction rate, as measured by the rate of product formation per unit time, from lowest reaction rate to highest reaction rate. to rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
  
• speed is the rate at which an object moves relative to its reference point. average speed is the total distance divided by the total time. we use average speed because the speed of an object may vary over time. common measures of speed include miles per hour, meters per second or kilometers per minute. if you drive at a speed limit of 65 miles per hour, it means that in one hour you will have traveled 65 miles from the reference point of where you began. because the speed at which an object travels varies over time, a it is impossible to calculate any type of speed measurement. b distance is considered the more important measurement. c average speed is used, which is total distance divided by total time. d time is considered the more important measurement.
