Rainsford needs control of his emotions to overcome his largest conflict, General Zaroff. At first, when he finds out he is going to be hunted, his instinct is to run in a panic, but he stops to look around and get a handle on the situation. Then, when Zaroff finds him hiding in a tree, Rainsford panics again, knowing Zaroff is playing with him. Once more, he controls his emotions and focuses on forming a plan. Even when the general is hot on his heels with a pack of dogs, Rainsford keeps his calm. Clearly, his self-control helps him win the game.

A. He hopes the mob will scare Goodman.
B. He fears for Goodman's safety in the mob.
C. He hopes that Goodman caused the outage.
D. He fears for his own safety in the mob.
Answer:
Steve's perspective about the group approaching Les Goodman's house is:
B. He fears for Goodman's safety in the mob.
Explanation:
Steve and Les Goodman are characters on "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," an episode of the TV show "The Twilight Zone".
In the story, after a strange object flies across the sky followed by a power outage, the neighbors of Maple Street begin to suspect one another. A boy claims that it was probably aliens messing with them, and that some aliens could very well be living among them, in disguise. His theory is enough to spark suspicions and accusations.<u> At a certain point, a group gathers to march toward Les Goodman's house, since they suspect him. Steve is the only one who seems to have maintained his sanity, and he tries to urge others to be reasonable as well. Steve fears for Goodman's safety. He knows that a mob is at the same time powerful and unreasonable. He is afraid that they may end up hurting Goodman without any proof of his being an alien.</u>
Compounded because of it so make sense that applied to that.
Answer:
D. The fire
Explanation:
Personification is a figure of speech in which an object or animal is given human characteristics or feelings. It is a very common tool in literature.
In the given excerpt from the novel<em> Lord of the Flies</em>, William Golding personifies the fire. Here, the fire is described as doing things it cannot literally do. Here, it<em> lays hold</em> and <em>begins to gnaw</em>. These are both things people (or animals - e.g. a dog can gnaw a bone) do.
