The qustion given above is incomplete, the complete version is given below:
In this sentence from "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, what does the word zealous mean in these lines?

Even so zealous a hunter as General Zaroff could not trace him there, he told himself; only the devil himself could follow that complicated trail through the jungle after dark.

A. enthusiastic

B. evil

C. accurate

D. inhumane

E. unforgiving

ANSWER

The correct option is A.

Literally, to be enthusiastic means to be full of enthusiasm or to be ardent. The word 'zealous' as used in this passage means that General Zaroff is a committed and dedicated hunter, who is full of passion. Thus, enthusiastic is a perfect synonymy for the word 'zealous' based on its use in this passage.

Anyone can help on how to write an 500+ words essay please?
laiz [17]

Answer:

ofc, here's some pro tips in general that'll work for any subject, if you inform me on the subject i could probably go deeper into it.

Explanation:

1. Always stay on the main topic. Repeat it as much as you want, as much as you need too! If it's about English or History, make sure give you direct years and dates that'll fill up the paper more.

2. Make sure you give multiple and factual details. Go all out! Reword things, search topics, do as much as you need to to fill up that document.

3. Give fun facts. Fun facts are an amazing way to take up more space on a paper. Fun facts not only bring people in, but also can quickly get the job done.

4. Don't make too many paragraphs. On my 500+ worded essay, I made 5 paragraphs and left it at that, I advise you to do the same. I have 5 different things going on in each paragraph so it's not the same dandy thing, but make sure if you take that route that you're still talking about the main topic of your essay. Don't get sidetracked!

5. Try to use 2 words with one meaning (like how people use words like "helping-hand" put a space between those if you're typing it so it'll register as 2 words, or make professional and long words to make it look like a larger sentence. Yes it still counts as one word technically, but hey ya might get some extra points!

Really hope this helped, and I could help a ton more if you need, just reply to this and I'll see what I can do :)))

A third of the world's captive orcas are in the United States, and all but one of those live at SeaWorld's three parks in Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio.
