B. It highlights the dangers of the wilderness.

C. It describes the weaknesses of the wolf.

D. It explains the cycle of the seasons.

Answer 1

Answer:

In my opinion, the correct answer is b. It highlights the dangers of the wilderness. The author doesn't just talk about various senses. He tells us how important and subtle the wolf's sense of smell is for his survival in the Northern woods, full of wild animals and predators, such as cougars and bears. The wolf is always watchful and alert.
