Zahra is writing an essay about "The Most Dangerous Game." Which excerpt from the story best supports her idea that Rainsford is

a rational individual who does not panic under pressure? A certain cool-headedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place. There was a chance that his cries could be heard by someone aboard the yacht, but that chance was slender, and grew more slender as the yacht raced on. Ten minutes of determined effort brought another sound to his ears—the most welcome he had ever heard—the muttering and growling of the sea breaking on a rocky shore. Sleep had given him new vigor; a sharp hunger was picking at him. He looked about him, almost cheerfully.

The answer is "A certain cool-headedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place."

Explanation:

The purpose of writing an essay is to prove a certain point of view; moreover, to achieve this, it is necessary to add evidence that explains or prove the point of view. This means if the focus of Zara is to show Rainsford (the main character) is a rational individual and does not panic, the best is to include a section that shows this behavior. According to this, the most appropriate excerpt is "A  certain cool-headedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place" because, in this, Rainsford shows a calm and logical behavior, even though at this point he had fallen of a yacht and it is indanger, which shows his ability to avoid panic during pressure or difficult situations

in your opinion , what happens to zaroff ? Do you think Rainsford changes his mind about hunting by the end of the story
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Rainsford won the wager. He fought Rainsford in the bedroom and Zaroff got fed to his own dogs. I suppose when Rainsford is in a tree and reflects that this is how an animal must feel to be hunted tips us off that he has a new attitude. The story, however, is so bizarre that the theme isn't dealt with in any depth. Perhaps Rainsford might think a little more about hunting defenseless animals in the future but I doubt he would start an animal rights movement.
