Question

Which lines of text from "the most dangerous game” support the claim that rainsford is offended by the idea of hunting men? Check all that apply. a. "but no animal can reason," objected rainsford.b. "i can't believe you are serious, general zaroff. This is a grisly joke."c. "why should i not be serious? I am speaking of hunting." d."hunting? General zaroff, what you speak of is murder." e. "did not make me condone cold-blooded murder," finished rainsford stiffly. f. "life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong.”

Answer 1

B, D, and E all support this claim.

B, because Rainsford is incredulous at the concept of Zaroff hunting humans; he believes it is a grotesque joke at his expense. D, because he calls the hunting of humans outright cold-blooded killing, showing his contempt for the subject. This leads into the reasoning for E; E shows that he is against hunting humans because he directly states that the hunting of humans is cold-blooded murder, and he does not condone it in the slightest. This is accentuated by his stiff tone.
