Answer:
Despite the barbaric intent of General Zaroff's desire to hunt human beings, he still displays a sense of honor and chivalry that he must have maintained from his military days. When he announces that he plans to hunt Rainsford that night, Rainsford wonders what he can expect if the impossible happens--if he wins.
His clothes essentially depict him as an aristocrat, someone of a higher social class than Rainsford. He is very distinguished looking; we assume he might be Russian because of Ivan who is a Cossack (like a Russian cavalryman).
General Zaroff is so skilled at hunting that he no longer finds enjoyment in hunting simple game like deer or ducks because he finds it too easy. He has been hunting for an extensive amount of time and he likes the challenge of hunting game without instinct but with reason. Rainsford is also a very smart and skilled hunter which interests General Zaroff for some exciting game.
General Zaroff began hunting humans because he became bored with hunting animals. He claimed that he lost interest in hunting animals, and he eventually realized that the reason was that he had become such a great hunter that the animals never eluded him. So as he found that hunting animals meant no challenge to him anymore, he interested in hunting humans.

What are the following claims...
Answer: E. They are a conservative and pious community.
Explanation:
The opening description of the men whom were in “sad-colored garments”, “steeple-crowned hats” and “bareheaded” or hooded women simply shows that the characters were in a conservative and pious community.
The introduction to the Puritan society coupled with the "sad-colored garments" and steeple-crowned hats” shows that the community was dour, and judgmental and the community had people who were traditional, conservative and deeply religious.
Therefore, the correct option is E.
In this particular excerpt, what is highlighted is the pivotal moment when hopeless romantic Janie asserts herself. For the longest time she thought Joe would be good for her, and that she was in love with him. In truth, Janie is in love with the idea of being in love. This delusion impeded her realization that Joe is ultimately just a selfish man who cared for no one but himself.
