What does Zaroff say to show that he places little value on human life? “But I think I can show you that your scruples are quite
ill founded.” “Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong.” “Why should I not use my gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not?” “—a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them.”
The right answer is “—a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them.”
With this phrase Zaroff devalues the human race, saying that the people he is addressing are worth so little, if anything, that animals are worth more, are more profitable and pleasant.
