Question

after a careful and thorough reading of chapter 7, you may recall ralphs attempts to assert his role as chief and his attempt to keep jack in check. which sequence best reflects ralphs efforts?

a \the pig - track was a dark tunnel, for the sun was slidingly quickly toward the edge of the world and in the forest, shadows were never far to seek. the track was broad and beaten and they ran along at a swift trot. then the roof of leaves broke up and they halted, breathing quickly, looking at the few stars that prickled round the head of the mountain.\

b \all right. who wants to climb the mountain now? silence was the only answer. samneric? what about you? we ought to go and tell piggy - yes, tell piggy that - but simon went! we ought to tell piggy - in case - robert? bill? they were going straight back to the platform now. not, of course, that they were afraid, but tired.

c not it was ralphs turn to flush be he spoke despairingly, out of the new understanding that piggy had given him. why do you hate me? the boys stirred uneasily, as though something indecent had been said. the silence lengthened.

d ralph sighed, sensing the rising antagonism, understanding that this was how jack felt as soon as he ceased to lead. i was thinking of the light. well be stumbling about. we were going to look for the beast. there wont be enough light.

e ralph, still hot and hurt, turned away first. come on. he led the way and set himself as by right to hack at the tangles. jack brought up the rear, displaced and brooding.
