Monty Hall, the host of the TV game show "Let’s Make A Deal", shows you three curtains. One curtain conceals a valuable prize, while the other two conceal junk. All three curtains are equally likely to conceal the prize. He offers you the following "deal": pick a curtain, and you can have whatever is behind it. When you pick a curtain, instead of giving you what lies behind the curtain, Monty (who knows where the prize is) opens one of the remaining curtains to show you that there is junk behind it, and offers the following "new, improved deal": you can either stick with your original choice, or switch to the remaining (unopened) curtain. Amidst the deafening roars of "Stand pat!" and "Switch!" from the crowd, Monty points out that "previously your chances of winning were 1/3, and now, since you know that the prize is behind one of the two unopened curtains, your chances have increased to 1/2, and thus the new improved deal is indeed better."

Which sentences from part 1 of the call of the wild would best serve as evidence of the theme "sometimes survival depends on knowing when not to fight"? buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity. to be sure, it was an unwonted performance: but he had learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit for a wisdom that outreached his own. he had merely intimated his displeasure, in his pride believing that to intimate was to command. but to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. he saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. he had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. that had given them an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, he would show them. they would never get another rope around his neck.
