Answer: In these lines, the word "zealous" means enthusiastic.

Explanation: The word "zealous" is an adjective and it has been used in these lines to describe someone (more specifically, General Zaroff) as an enthusiastic person, that is to say as someone who does something with an eager enjoyment. In this case, what makes General Zaroff a zealous person is his enthusiasm for hunting. Therefore, "evil ", "accurate", "inhumane" and "unforgiving" are all incorrect options: the only correct one is "enthusiastic".

The men's feelings of anxiety and fear will remain present. They will still feel uneasy with the feeling of hungry wolves surrounding them. Hearing the hunting-cries and observing their dogs' panicky reactions will only add to the tension.
