When you hear about a lottery, you think about the chance to win something good (like money, trips, etc). In the story, the lottery ends up being something you definitely would not want to win. The less chance you have to “win”, the better.

Find a quote in “The Most Dangerous Game" where Connell directly characterizes<br> Rainsford.
Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

Indirect characterization through speech

A character is revealed by what he or she says and by what other characters say about the character. For example, in “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, a famous hunter, Rainsford, is lost at sea and washes ashore on an island owned by General Zaroff.

Sanger Rainsford

A world-renowned big-game hunter and the story's protagonist. Intelligent, experienced, and level-headed, Rainsford uses his wits and physical prowess to outwit General Zaroff. ... Hiding from Zaroff, he recalls his days fighting in the trenches of World War I, where he witnessed unimaginable violence.

An example of direct characterization is when Rainsford meets General Zaroff and the narrator explains: "Rainsford's first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the general's face.

Which of these modes of transportation would you most likely find in a science fiction story?
devlian [24]

The correct answer is C. spaceships.

Science fiction is a literary genre that deals with the things that we don't really have at the moment, but can imagine them - things such as spaceships, sentient robots, space battles, space explorations, space travel, distant planets and alien species, etc.

Given that we already have and use helicopters, boats, horse carts, and cars, we can safely deduce that these modes of transportation are not science fiction because they are real. On the other hand, we don't have spaceships, which makes them an element of science fiction stories.
