In Richard Connell’s short story “The Most Dangerous Game,” Zaroff’s aristocratic appearance and dignified manners mask his sini

ster, animalistic nature. Which line from the excerpt best provides a glimpse into his true nature? Rainsford’s first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the general’s face. He was a tall man past middle age, for his hair was a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night from which Rainsford had come. His eyes, too, were black and very bright. He had high cheekbones, a sharpcut nose, a spare, dark face—the face of a man used to giving orders, the face of an aristocrat. Turning to the giant in uniform, the general made a sign. The giant put away his pistol, saluted, withdrew. "Ivan is an incredibly strong fellow," remarked the general, "but he has the misfortune to be deaf and dumb. A simple fellow, but, I'm afraid, like all his race, a bit of a savage." "Is he Russian?" “He is a Cossack,” said the general, and his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth. “So am I.” … Half apologetically General Zaroff said, “We do our best to preserve the amenities of civilization here. Please forgive any lapses. We are well off the beaten track, you know.” … Laughter shook the general. “How extraordinarily droll you are!” he said. “One does not expect nowadays to find a young man of the educated class, even in America, with such a naïve, and, if I may say so, mid-Victorian point of view. It’s like finding a snuffbox in a limousine. Ah, well, doubtless you had Puritan ancestors.

<span>"and his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth." is a good hint.

If you think about it, this line is the only one that would be used to describe an animal. 
You can ask yourself, what do you think of when you read that line. 
When I read it I could almost imagine a predator like a wolf snarling, showing it's vicious teeth. In effect, when he opened his mouth to smile it's like you're getting a glimpse into him and his nature.

Answer:

<h3>I met Rhonda just few months back at Economics classes.</h3>

Explanation:

I met Rhonda just few months back at Economics classes. We became good friends and hung out occasionally. It was during the sports week one of her old classmates told that she had problems with her behavior and she had a bad reputation.

I didn't care much about it at the moment but when I went back home I realized that something seemed really off about her. She used to cut classes short most days and would be gone for days without notice.

Then one day I saw her outside an old age home. I thought maybe she had someone there. I waved at her and went towards her. Though, she felt embarrassed for a moment and I asked her what was she doing there. She just smiled and said "I can't loose anyone anymore".

After a week I learnt that she had lost her grandmother whom she loved so much.
