Answer: A reader can infer that the when put under pressure, the governor makes decisions.

Explanation:

From the sentences above, the governor only takes or makes a decision when he is under pressure. The US government, the doctors all over Alaska, the increasing number sick of people, the increasing number of sled-dog teams all put the governor under pressure and the governor had no choice but to make a decision or take on stand on the issues.

A reader can also infer that the governor does not have a mind of his own and is not capable of making decisions, but when put under pressure he makes a decision.
