English

Anton [14]2 years ago

8 0

Answer and Explanation:

In the short story "The Most Dangerous Game", the character Zaroff is the one who says "That's the trouble with these sailors; they have dull brains to begin with, and they do not know how to get about in the woods. They do excessively stupid and obvious things. It's most annoying." The reason why general Zaroff says the words is because, the previous night, he had been hunting a man, a sailor. That man was easily caught and killed, which made the whole deal boring for Zaroff.

Those lines were taken from a conversation between the general and another hunter, Rainsford, the main character. Zaroff has invited Rainsford to hunt with him, but Rainsford refuses to kill men. The general does not see what he does as murder. He's grown bored of killing animals incapable of reasoning, which is why he has decided to kill other human beings. He likes the challenge.

6. utopia -- d. an ideal or perfect place where everyone lives in harmony

Explanation:

The definitions above are clear and explanatory. Still, let's define the terms with different words to make sure the comprehension is thorough. A cult is used to refer to religions that are practiced by smaller groups and that have unconventional beliefs. Cynicism has its origin in an ancient Greek philosophical school. Nowadays, the word is used to refer to the belief that people are self-interest in their actions. Skepticism as a philosophy is the theory that achieving a certain knowledge is impossible. As for syncretism, it refers to the blending of two or more belief/religious systems or even cultures. Monasticism is also called monkhood and, as the name suggests, it concerns the abandonment of worldly pursuits in favor of spiritual endeavors. Finally, utopia refers to a place or a state in which everything is perfect. It usually refers to a perfect society, in which everyone works for the general good, rulers are not corrupt, and the people is impeccably happy.
