If the "books" wasn't a plural, it would be "his" but since it isn't singular, it would be "their"
D. A bird.
The voice from the cuckoo bird is breaking silence.
Jake, brave, pitiful, and older than his years, gazed down at his starving family. His mother had passed on a few months ago, and her dying wish was that the family stay together. Jake knew the foster system; it was unlikely that they could all stay together, especially with his track record with the law. Yet, he knew that they would not survive long without more food and money. He felt torn between fulfilling his promise to his mother and that other promise he made, the promise to himself. He had vowed to change his life when his mother was diagnosed with cancer. Stealing would fulfill her promise (as long as he didn't get caught) but break the promise to himself that made him a new man. This new man cared for his siblings; what would happen to his family if he became a thief?

Answer:
"Did not make me condone cold-blooded murder," finished Rainsford stiffly.
"But they are men," said Rainsford hotly.
Explanation:
These sentences were said by Rainsford when he found out that Zaroff took pleasure in killing men for fun. Zaroff believes that this is just a different type of hunting, and that men are the most interesting prey. However, Rainsford argues that men are not meant to be killed. In the first sentence, he refers to this as "cold-blooded murder," while in the second sentence he argues that they are men, and therefore, should not be hunted. The fact that he condemns this action shows that he was also not justified in killing Zaroff.
