- C. "eagerly"
Explanation:
We can see that Rainsford knows a lot about hunting because he can predict what the hunter and the animal did during the hunt, without having witnessed that moment. In addition, he is shown to have full knowledge of weapons and weapons suitable for hunting.
In these predictions, Rainsford realizes that the animal should be quite large and ferocious and that is why he believes that the hunter had a lot of courage and daring to face him. He uses the word "nerve" to highlight this.
Since the hunter is brave and, apparently, a good fighter Rainsford believes he is safe with him in that environment, so he is motivated to find that hunter.
Rainsford is so excited to find this hunter that the narrator uses the word "eagerly" to intensify the urgency that Rainsford is feeling.
