Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game." "Where there are pistol shots, there are men. Where there are men, there is foo

d," he thought. But what kind of men, he wondered, in so forbidding a place? An unbroken front of snarled and ragged jungle fringed the shore. He saw no sign of a trail through the closely knit web of weeds and trees; it was easier to go along the shore, and Rainsford floundered along by the water. Not far from where he had landed, he stopped. Some wounded thing, by the evidence a large animal, had thrashed about in the underbrush; the jungle weeds were crushed down and the moss was lacerated; one patch of weeds was stained crimson. A small, glittering object not far away caught Rainsford's eye and he picked it up. It was an empty cartridge.
Which details from the narration show that Rainsford is an experienced hunter and outdoor enthusiast? Check all that apply.

Which passage from the text most clearly explains why Wordsworth chose to depict rural life in his poems?
hram777 [196]

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

A) “the manners of rural life germinate from those elementary feelings; and, from the necessary character of rural occupations."

B) “to relate or describe them throughout, as far as was possible, in a selection of language really used by men”

C) “because in that conditions the passions of men are incorporated with the beautiful and permanent forms of nature”

D) “because in that condition of life our elementary feelings co-exist in a state of greater simplicity, and, consequently, may be more accurately contemplated”

Answer:

D) “because in that condition of life our elementary feelings co-exist in a state of greater simplicity, and, consequently, may be more accurately contemplated”

Explanation:

Rural life was a great inspiration for Wordsworth's work. He always addressed how hard work, contact with nature and the simple life of the countryman had a positive impact on people's lives, personality and even feelings. He believed that this type of environment has a simplicity that makes emotions and feelings simpler and therefore more understandable and easier to be contemplated.

Bond [772]
The government should be concerned about rapid population growth because it could lead to things like, food shortage, unemployment numbers increasing, the homeless numbers increasing, even an increase in disease

The government should help the citizens start their lives as in providing basic education through taxes and helping those who have hit hard times and need a little assistance, however with a bigger population and an increasing one as well the money supply to do such things is going to wear thin and make taxes go up or they stop doing such services

With too big of a population our carbon footprint could break down the O zone layer rapidly and cause the suns rays to be able to reach us and possibly cause cancer, we take up more room meaning less room for nature and we eat more so less animals and could cause extinction of certain animals climate will continue to increase
The government can put in rules about how much land can be used or how it is used keep companies from tearing down forests and make them government nations parks to reserve nature, get the people using more renewable resources instead of nonrenewable

The government should not be in citizens family related issues as in how many children they should have, when they should have them... etc however I do believe that before having children parents should be educated about the pregnancy process all that is to come ...etc BUT this all could be done through a DOCTOR who is the parents physician and not by government
