Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sadcries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closerso close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone.""They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.They spoke no more until camp was made.Read this line from the story:As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer, ...What is the purpose of this sentence in the story?

Twenty young men got a quote for the cost of a car insurance policy. The policy cost and ages of the men are shown in the scatter plot. Theequation for the line of best fit for the data is y=-315.67x + 8986.5 and the correlation coefficient is-0.951.Select all the statements that are true based on the scatter plot and line of best-fit equation4,0003,500...3,0002.500,,2,0001,5001,0001819 2021 22 23 24 25D. The line of best fit indicates that, in general, the cost of a car insurance policy for a 21-year-old should be on average, about $315less than the cost of a car insurance policy for a 20-year-old.06 The y-intercept from the line of best fit indicates that, if the linear trend holds, a car insurance policy would be 50 for a person whois about 8,987 years old.OcEvery 19-year-old in this group has a lower cost of car insurance than the 18-year oldsOdThe value of the correlation coefficient is very close to -1, so there is no association between age and car insurance policy cost.Car insurance policy cost tends to decrease as the age of the driver increases.e
