How do the sailors and Rainsford feel about the Island​

English
1 answer:
Gennadij [26K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The sailors believe it is a place of evil, but Rainsford thinks they are just superstitious.

Explanation:

In <em>the Most Dangerous Game</em>, a short story by Richard Connell, a man named Rainsford finds himself on an island, where he is hunted by a mad man, called Zaroff.

Before Rainsford ends up on the island, we find out that the sailors are frightened by this place. When Rainsford and Whitney have a conversation while passing by the island, Whitney says that<em> "Sailors have a curious dread of the place."</em> Rainsford, however, does not understand why. This conversation foreshadows the events that are going to take place later in the story - Rainsford will himself be frightened by the 'evil' Zaroff.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

It's D) on my options: the need for libraries in order to help improve people's overall quality of life

Explanation:

Read the following excerpt from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech “What Libraries Mean to the Nation.”

I know one place in the northern part of the state where I camped for a while in the summer, and I went to the school and talked to the teachers. They are using school books which have been passed down from one child to another. They have practically no books outside of the textbooks. The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that I suppose the struggle to live has been so great you could not think much about what you fed the mind, but I came away feeling that right there, in one of the biggest and richest states in the country, we had a big area that needed books and needed libraries to these schools in the education of the children, and, even more, to the whole community to learn to live through their minds.

We are doing a tremendous amount through the home economics colleges to people to learn how to live in their homes, to better their standards of material living. We have got to think in exactly the same way about ing them to live mentally and to attain better standards, and we can do it only through the children. We can do ground work with the children; we must begin with them; but we have got to do a tremendous amount with the older people.

What is one central idea of Roosevelt’s writing?

A.

the need to educate parents and children about the value of books

B.

the need to prioritize learning over other material concerns

C.

the need for efforts that are focused on teaching children to read

D.

the need for libraries in order to improve people’s overall quality of life

Which of the following statements is true only about authorized biographies?
Strike441 [17]
The correct answer is (B). Authorized means "given permission", but sometimes there is limitations and the subject of the story may not want others going through personal records (ruling out A, C, and D). I hope this helps!
