Read the excerpt from “The Red-Headed League.”

Sherlock Holmes had sprung out and seized the man by the collar. The other dived down the hole, and I heard the sound of tearing cloth as Jones clutched at his pant leg. The light flashed upon the barrel of a revolver, but Holmes’s hunting crop came down on the man’s wrist, and the pistol clinked upon the stone floor.
“It’s no use, John Clay,” said Holmes blandly. “You have no chance at all.”
“So I see,” the other answered coolly. “I fancy that my pal is all right, though I see you have got his coat-tails.”
“Inspector Jones has three men waiting for him at the door,” said Holmes.
“Oh, indeed? You seem to have thought of everything. I must compliment you.”
“And I you,” Holmes answered. “Your red-headed idea was very clever.”

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.
