<span>After Jack learns that Miss Prism accidentally left him in the handbag at Victoria station, he embraces her with joy. She is taken aback, claiming that she is unmarried, and he goes on to mention that, while “that is a serious blow” to know his ‘mother’ had gotten pregnant from a random man, there is no need “to be one law for men and another for women” and she is forgiven (177). Wilde is trying to state that women and men should be on the same respective level when it comes to matters of fault. He forgives her for her “act of folly”, saying that women should be forgiven just as easily as men can be forgiven for their wrongdoings, like how easily Jack and Algernon were forgiven by the girls for lying about their names (177).</span>

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: "I wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "So I said, `What are the attributes of an ideal quarry?' And the answer was, of course, `It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason."'

Explanation: In literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually it is between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). The Most Dangerous Game is a short story by Richard Connell, which central conflict is about a General named Zaroff, who enjoys hunting humans. From the given options, the quote that best represents this conflict is "I wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "So I said, `What are the attributes of an ideal quarry?' And the answer was, of course, `It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason"' because just humans are able to reason.
