Answer 1

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which details from the excerpt help the reader to visualize Rainsford´s hiding spot, would be, C: Phrases such as "thick trunk", "outspread branches", and "broad limbs".

Explanation:

"The Most Dangerous Game" is a short story written by Richard Connell, and it was published for the first time in 1924. This story can also be found under the title of "The Hounds of Zaroff."

In this particular excerpt from the story, General Zaroff, the host that was assisting big-game and famous hunter Sanger Rainsford, after he accidentally fell off a yatch in the Caribbean, has initiated his most daring hunt ever. He is hunting for human prey, and his prey at the time, is Rainsford himself. After having avoided Zaroff and his helper for most of the day, Rainsford finally seeks a place to rest in the jungle and after making sure that no one can track him to where he is, he chooses a tree to climb on and sleep. We learn about the place, and the characteristics of it from Rainsford in the passage when he uses descriptive words for it, especially regarding the tree where he will try and rest, and those trees and vegetation that surrounds it. This is why C, which uses such descriptors for the place where Rainsford is hiding, becomes the best choice as an answer.
