orrect answer: second option: Rainsford killed Zaroff and slept in the general´s bed.  

In the short history “The Most Dangerous Game” (1924), by Richard Connell, Rainsford is part of a hunting game where he is hunted by General Zaroff. Rainsford who is also a hunter succeeds in escaping and survives to surprise the general in his bedroom. So they decide to have a fight in which the loser will be fed to the dogs and the winner will sleep in the general´s bed. As the last sentence of the history shows that Rainsford decided that he had never slept in a better bed, we conclude that he wins the fight and kills Zaroff.

The most probable answer is option 2: Rainsford killed Zaroff and slept in the general's bed. This is clear to me because of what is stated in the passage that he had never slept in a better bed, meaning he won the fight for it.

Option 1 is not probable because it wasn't a matter of letting the other person sleep in the bed, but to fight for the right to do so.

Option 3 does not represent the outcome of the story because it's Rainsford the one who wins the fight and gets to sleep on the bed.

Option 4 "None of these" isn't the right option because it doesn't include the story's denouement in itself.
