Answer:
They didn't reach an agreement <u><em>on account of</em></u> their differences.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the necessary word(s) to be put in the blank will be suggestive of the 'cause' of the first part of the sentence. While the first part contains the effect' of the 'cause', completing the whole sentence depends on the part or parts of the phrase needed.
The given options "on account of", "due", "because" or "owing" are all valid to be used in the given sentence. But considering the form and structure of the sentence, the blank will be filled by "on account of".
To use the other options, we would need to add more to the already given words. We cannot simply write "they didn't reach an agreement due/owing/because their differences." For "due" and "owing", it needs "to" to make the sentence whole. Likewise, "because" requires "of" to be usable. If we add these words to the already given words, then the sentence can become
they didn't reach an agreement due to/ because of/ owing to their differences. But these options are wrong as the words are incomplete.
Thus, the correct answer is "on account of".
<em><u>They didn't reach an agreement on account of their differences.</u></em>

Answer: "I wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "So I said, `What are the attributes of an ideal quarry?' And the answer was, of course, `It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason."'
Explanation: In literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually it is between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). The Most Dangerous Game is a short story by Richard Connell, which central conflict is about a General named Zaroff, who enjoys hunting humans. From the given options, the quote that best represents this conflict is "I wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "So I said, `What are the attributes of an ideal quarry?' And the answer was, of course, `It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason"' because just humans are able to reason.
