Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game." "I can't believe you are serious, General Zaroff. This is a grisly joke." "Why

should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting." "Hunting? General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder." The general laughed with entire good nature. He regarded Rainsford quizzically. "I refuse to believe that so modern and civilized a young man as you seem to be harbors romantic ideas about the value of human life. Surely your experiences in the war—" "Did not make me condone cold-blooded murder," finished Rainsford stiffly. In what way is Zaroff portrayed as Rainsford’s foil?

A foil is a character whose traits are distinct or different from another character. Rainsford's character is highlighted by its difference from Zaroff's character. Zaroof is ruthless and cruel while Rainsford is compassionate and values life. You could say that their characters are the complete opposite.

Answer:

Zaroff is portrayed as Rainsford’s foil as Zaroff has no conscience, while Rainsford does have a conscience.

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the options to answer, here are the options:

* Zaroff has no conscience, while Rainsford does have a conscience.

* Zaroff is an enthusiastic hunter, while Rainsford is indifferent to hunting.

* Zaroff is an inconsiderate host, while Rainsford is a very good guest.

* Zaroff has little hunting experience, while Rainsford has a lot.

After this little exchange of ideas between Rainsford and Zaroff some differences come to light that will be very important for the development of the story, and it is shown that even when Rainsford had been at war he does value human life, he would never consider killing a sport and that demonstrates the value of his soul and consciousness all contrary to Zaroff.

Vinvika [58]

For avoiding repetition when writing, subject pronouns are commonly used to substitute (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) when you write them BEFORE the verb. If not, object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) is the option when the action goes directly into de subject.

Also the use of indefinite articles (a/an) change when you know what you are referring to, to definite articles (the).

Examples with pronouns:

There was a big dog in the street. It was playing with a cat.

Example with articles:

There was a big dog in the street. The dog was playing with a cat.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby," tells the story of Jay Gatsby and his unfulfilled dreams of trying to win back his former love which is the main and only purpose of his life. The story also deals with the theme of an American dream, the various obstacles that one encounters in life, and the evident social status that one maintains or tries to maintain to be "agreeable" for others.

In the given excerpt from the text, Nick, our narrator, describes his home. He agrees that his house at West Egg <em>"is an eyesore but it was a small eyesore"</em>. This seems to suggest that it was an eyesore for those living in East Egg but not that much as compared to the other houses in West Egg. This shows that <u>he is wealthy enough to live in a much better house than the others but at the same time, not wealthy enough to be able to reside in the "upper-class" East Egg side. </u>

A student's report about Kennedy
Tresset [83]

Answer:

An article about Kennedy written by a professional historian

Explanation:

An informative essay is a type of essay that aims to educate its readers on a certain topic.

When writing an informative essay, it's important that we use only correct information. This is why a person writing about John F. Kennedy should use an article about Kennedy written by a professional historian as a source. It's guaranteed that this type of article will include only facts.

However, there is no guarantee that a student's report about Kennedy would be correct. Both the memoir written by Kennedy's wife and a book titled <em>Why John F. Kennedy Was America's Greatest President</em> lack objectivity. They are influenced by their writers' opinions, beliefs, and feelings, which means that they are not based on facts.

This is why the third option is the correct one.
