In his 1962 "We Choose to Go to the Moon" speech, President John F. Kennedy said: But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that

we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun-almost as hot as it is here today-and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out-then we must be bold.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: "I wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "So I said, `What are the attributes of an ideal quarry?' And the answer was, of course, `It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason."'

Explanation: In literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually it is between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). The Most Dangerous Game is a short story by Richard Connell, which central conflict is about a General named Zaroff, who enjoys hunting humans. From the given options, the quote that best represents this conflict is "I wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "So I said, `What are the attributes of an ideal quarry?' And the answer was, of course, `It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason"' because just humans are able to reason.

A fused sentence is a group of sentences that are joined together without punctuations or other sentence breaks. These kinds of sentences are often difficult to understand because they prevent good comprehension of the thoughts in the sentence.

In fused sentences, there are no commas, or colons that separate the ideas being made into distinct parts.
