Answer:

Insert a semicolon before in fact

Explanation:

"She never found the shipwreck in fact, she had no interest in diving."

In the above sentence, there are two independent clauses but are related. Normally, the best way to grammatically rewrite the sentence will be to use a comma right after '<em>shipwreck</em>'. But, as that is out of the option, the revised sentence will be best rewritten by putting a semicolon before '<em>in fact</em>'. Also, the semi colon can also be used to introduce a new sentence that is still related to the previous sentence.

So, the new sentence will become

She never found the shipwreck; in fact, she had no interest in diving.

For each of the two main characters (Rainsford and Zaroff), record three character
Svetllana [295]

After reading the short story "The Most Dangerous Game," we can analyze Rainsford, Zaroff, the setting, imagery and suspense in the following manner.

  1. Rainford's three character traits are: attentive, brave, and smart. Pieces of evidence to support those traits are, respectively: "Rainsford remembered the shots. They had come from the right...," "Then he leaped far out into the sea...," and "He thought of a native trick he had learned in Uganda."
  2. Zaroff's three character traits are: arrogant, unfair, and unempathetic. Pieces of evidence to support those traits are, respectively:  "I hunt the sc∪m of the earth...," "'Ivan,' he said to Rainsford, 'will supply you with hunting clothes, food, a knife.'" and "...a young man as you seem to be harbors romantic ideas about the value of human life."
  3. Three pieces of text that illustrate the setting are: "palatial chαteau", "cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows" and  "the tall jungle weeds."
  4. Examples of imagery in the story: "...the wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face and the salt water in his open mouth made him gag and strangle" and "Rainsford heard a sound. It came out of the darkness, a high screaming sound, the sound of an animal in an extremity of anguish and terror."
  5. Three pieces of evidence that create suspense are: "He did not recognize the animal that made the sound...", "Some wounded thing--by the evidence, a large animal--had thrashed about in the underbrush," and "A man, who had been hiding in the curtains of the bed, was standing there." The author uses general words, such as "animal" and "man", so that readers are kept curious about what or who he is referring to.
  6. Major plot events are: Rainsford falls from the yacht; Rainsford meets Zaroff and learns that he hunts man; Zaroff forces Rainsford to become his prey; Rainsford escapes and defeats Zaroff.

<h3>What is "The Most Dangerous Game" about?</h3>

The story "The Most Dangerous Game" has Sanger Rainsford as its main character. Rainsford is a hunter who, after meeting general Zaroff, becomes the prey. Rainford relies on his skills and intelligence to escape the general. Zaroff, an arrogant and prejudiced man, underestimates Rainsford.

The setting of the story is Zaroff's island, where he lives in a chαteau. There is also a jungle and cliffs in the island. The authors builds suspense mostly by not revealing certain pieces of information. He says "animal" and "man," for instance, so that readers are left wondering which animal is being hunted and who the man behind the curtains is.
