Answer:

Zaroff is defeated because of his own overconfidence and arrogance.

Explanation:

In "The Most Dangerous Game" by 'Richard Connell', General Zaroff's is tricked by Rainsford and Zaroff gets defeated because of his own arrogance.

General Zaroff lived on Ship-Trap island. He was tired of hunting animals, so he started hunting humans to satisfy his thrill. Rainsford was his new victim. Zaroff boosts to Rainsford that killing is his "mathematical certainty" and since animals cannot compete with him, he switched to hunting humans. In overconfidence, he allowed Rainsford to stay after the first day of the competition.

Rainsford tricked Zaroff by making him think that he died but he returned to Zaroff's castle, where Rainsford kills him.

A beer and marijuana are complementary goods

Explanation:

Based on the relationship described in the given statement it can be suggest that beer and marijuana are complementary goods. This is because of the fact that when the price of one item (beer) is increased due to taxation then this means that its demand might decrease due to higher prices now. But this decrease in beer demand then results in the decrease in demand and consumption of the other (marijuana). This presents a very clear process that the decrease in one leads to decrease in other hence they are complementary goods.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

encouraging the settlement of frontier lands.

Explanation:

The Northwest Ordinance, also known as the Ordinance of 1787, was a policy that established a governmental structure and the procedures to admit territories as a state in Union. The Ordinance also guaranteed equality to the newly states with the original thirteen states.

The Homestead Act of 1862 was an act passed by President Abraham Lincoln. The act granted Americans, including freed slaves, to claim public lands in the West for a small filing fee up to 160 acres. The landowners were required to build a home, farm the land, and make it a resident place for five years.

Therefore, both the acts were passed to encourage the settlement of frontier lands.

What should be used to put out a fire in a person's hair or clothing?
tia_tia [17]

To put out a fire in a person's hair or clothing use<u> the fire blanket.</u>

<u></u>

<u>INTERPRETATION-</u>

If anyone's hair or clothing catches on fire, immediately try to smother the flames with a wool fire blanket, or cotton clothing. Do not ever try to smother flames with nylon clothing: it could melt onto the skin.  

If the fire cannot be immediately smothered, force the person to the ground and roll them over and over, to smother the flames.

If a person's clothes catch fire, the best way to extinguish the fire is to cover the person with a woolen blanket. By covering with a blanket, we are preventing the supply of oxygen, which is a supporter of combustion. Throwing water on them is not the suitable thing, if the fire has been caused due to electricity.
