Answer:
a) Rainsford believes that animals are inferior to humans and therefore deserve to be hunted, while Zaroff feels this way about other humans.
Explanation:
The short story of "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell tells the story of how a hunter became the hunted. The character of Sanger Rainsford, who is a reputed hunter, became the victim in one of the most gruesome game of hunting.
Rainsford and his friend Whitney were on their way to a hunting expedition when Rainsford got lost and was stranded in an island owned by General Zaroff. This island had a different type of hunting a game, for their victims are humans, weaker sections in the chain. Zaroff hunts them for his pleasure, which is also the way Rainsford feels about his hunted animals. But their difference lies in the identity of the hunted animals. While Rainsford believes that animals are inferior, thus the reason why hunting them is reasonable, Zaroff also hold this same belief except that his feelings about the inferiority of his hunted animals are humans just like him.
