What does the phrase sporting proposition mean the most dangerous game

English
1 answer:
Drupady [299]3 years ago

I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance. 

It was used in this dialogue:
<span>"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)
</span>
When you say "sport" is infers a chance of winning and losing. There is no sure outcome.
In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.

What is the advantage of using mass media?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

C. The information is available to a larger audience than is

information communicated in other forms of media.

Explanation:

Mass media refers to a diverse array of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication. Therefore, we know C is correct. Furthermore, although there are more streams to know the news happened around the world, it becomes a problem that citizens lose the ability to recognize if they are true or wrong because too many different media companies have their own claims and biases about those news topics. So, we can eliminate A and B which leaves us with C.
