The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "An unabridged English-language dictionary is a shortened dictionary for everyday use, and it is the dictionary that most people have in their homes and offices."

C)  An unabridged dictionary of the English language attempts to cover all the words in the language and gives information on each word’s history.

The word “abridged” means to have been reduced in length by getting rid of extra information and only presenting the basics.  If something is unabridged, it will be understood to be free of the removal of any information.  Thus, an unabridged dictionary will be as comprehensive as possible and provide as much information about the words as possible, too, such as parts of speech, etymology, pronunciations, etc.

When a serial murderer known as the "Railroad Killer" was being sought some years ago, the FBI interviewed people who had been i
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

There is no way in which the term "hispanic male" can constitute discrimination.

<u>The suspect was indeed Spanish-speaking</u>, according to the investigation done by the FBI and the data collected by the witnesses.

It is a term correctly used to distinguish a person who speaks Spanish and to place this information on a Wanted Poster is more appropriate than to say: "he speaks Spanish".

Ángel Maturino Reséndiz was effectively the <em>"Railroad Killer"</em> known for killing 15 people near the train tracks.

He was a 46-year-old Mexican man who was sentenced to death after proven guilty in these murders.

The FBI managed to make a deal with Angel's sister who decided to help them in order to imprison her brother, and that way they managed to catch him.

For each of the two main characters (Rainsford and Zaroff), record three character
Svetllana [295]

After reading the short story "The Most Dangerous Game," we can analyze Rainsford, Zaroff, the setting, imagery and suspense in the following manner.

  1. Rainford's three character traits are: attentive, brave, and smart. Pieces of evidence to support those traits are, respectively: "Rainsford remembered the shots. They had come from the right...," "Then he leaped far out into the sea...," and "He thought of a native trick he had learned in Uganda."
  2. Zaroff's three character traits are: arrogant, unfair, and unempathetic. Pieces of evidence to support those traits are, respectively:  "I hunt the sc∪m of the earth...," "'Ivan,' he said to Rainsford, 'will supply you with hunting clothes, food, a knife.'" and "...a young man as you seem to be harbors romantic ideas about the value of human life."
  3. Three pieces of text that illustrate the setting are: "palatial chαteau", "cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows" and  "the tall jungle weeds."
  4. Examples of imagery in the story: "...the wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face and the salt water in his open mouth made him gag and strangle" and "Rainsford heard a sound. It came out of the darkness, a high screaming sound, the sound of an animal in an extremity of anguish and terror."
  5. Three pieces of evidence that create suspense are: "He did not recognize the animal that made the sound...", "Some wounded thing--by the evidence, a large animal--had thrashed about in the underbrush," and "A man, who had been hiding in the curtains of the bed, was standing there." The author uses general words, such as "animal" and "man", so that readers are kept curious about what or who he is referring to.
  6. Major plot events are: Rainsford falls from the yacht; Rainsford meets Zaroff and learns that he hunts man; Zaroff forces Rainsford to become his prey; Rainsford escapes and defeats Zaroff.

<h3>What is "The Most Dangerous Game" about?</h3>

The story "The Most Dangerous Game" has Sanger Rainsford as its main character. Rainsford is a hunter who, after meeting general Zaroff, becomes the prey. Rainford relies on his skills and intelligence to escape the general. Zaroff, an arrogant and prejudiced man, underestimates Rainsford.

The setting of the story is Zaroff's island, where he lives in a chαteau. There is also a jungle and cliffs in the island. The authors builds suspense mostly by not revealing certain pieces of information. He says "animal" and "man," for instance, so that readers are left wondering which animal is being hunted and who the man behind the curtains is.
