This is a good observation. The General reveals to Rainsford that Rainsford himself will be the hunted in page 11-15 of the story. So, your observation is correct. There is a delay in introducing the main conflict. The main reason for this is to keep Rainsford in suspense and study his reaction.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Honestly both C and D could make great ones, but I feel like D will be more simplistic so it doesn't take away from the information itself
For me, the answer is letter D.
Only choice D has the technical words associated to geography. The rest of the choices contain common words that any mundane could use. But choice D talks about geology itself in the ocean which is highly influenced by drilling and mining. Knowledgeable readers would understand this because drilling and mining require workers to tap into the geological rocks deep beneath the ground which may cause a significant alteration in the oceanic geology.
