Read the following excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. It was seven o'clock of a very warm evening in the Seeonee hills when Father Wolf woke up from his day's rest, scratched himself, yawned, and spread out his paws one after the other to get rid of the sleepy feeling in the tips. Mother Wolf lay with her big gray nose dropped across her four tumbling, squealing cubs, and the moon shone into the mouth of the cave where they all lived. "Augrh!" said Father Wolf, "it is time to hunt again"; and he was going to spring downhill when a little shadow with a bushy tail crossed the threshold and whined: "Good luck go with you, O Chief of the Wolves; and good luck and strong white teeth go with the noble children, that they may never forget the hungry in this world."

What purpose does this part of the story serve?

to build tension in the story
to provide a solution to the problem
to introduce a main character
to break the tension of the story

C). to introduce the main character.

Explanation:

As per the question, the given excerpt as the section of the story aims to 'introduce a main character' i.e. 'Father Wolf.' The details about the routine('seven o'clock...woke up'), behavior('scratched himself...spread...paws' etc.), and his daily task('time to hunt again') display that the author is introducing him to the readers by offering details regarding him.

The descriptions display that there is no conflict about which the author would create uncertainty or suspense and since there is no tension, breaking it is out of the context. Neither does the author talk about a problem whose solution he seems to be providing. Thus, the only logical option is option C which is the correct answer.
