Read this excerpt from Richard Connell's “The Most Dangerous Game." Which two emotions does the story's setting inspire in the r

eader?
"Off there to the right-somewhere is a large island," said Whitney."
It's rather a mystery—"
"What island is it?" Rainsford asked.
"The old charts call it 'Ship-Trap Island,” Whitney replied." A
suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I
don't know why. Some superstition"
"Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank
tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness
in upon the yacht.
"You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh," and I've seen you pick
off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but
even you can't see four miles or so hrough a moonless Caribbean night"
"Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet"
"It will be light enough in Rio," promised Whitney. "We should make it
in a few days. I hope the jaguar guns have come from Purdey's. We should
have some good hunting up the Amazon. Great sport, hunting,"

Each year, over 130,000 children don't get adequate nutrition. Of these children, almost 20,000 are officially starving. C. How can you turn away from a child who is hungry?

Answer:

C. How can you turn away from a child who is hungry? Look at the sad faces of the children and find it in your heart to give, is an example of pathos.

Explanation:

Pathos is a rhetorical resource whose main objective is to influence the emotional triggering of the reader or listener of a speech. The use of pathos can be seen in texts that depict emotional, delicate situations that make the reader feel angry, compassion, sadness or even pity, among other feelings.

As you can see in the question above, alternative C evokes sentimentality, making the reader feel compassion and pity for what you are reading.
