Question

Which of the following inferences about Whitney is best supported by the beginning of the story?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. He is a superstitious person who believes in rumors and legends.

Explanation:

This question is referring to the short story called ''The Most Dangerous Game'' written by Richard Connell.

• Whitney is a character who is hunting with Rainsford. They are two opposites, Whitney is being a contrast if we compare him to Rainsford and that is his main role in the story. He believes in rumors, legends, he believes that jaguars deserve sympathy.

He loves hunting and he is considering hunting as a way of survival. He also has sympathy for all the animals, which is not the case with Rainsford who is hunting without any feelings.
