Read this excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell. In a cultivated voice marked by a slight accent that gave

it added precision and deliberateness, he said: "It is a very great pleasure and honor to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home." Automatically Rainsford shook the man's hand. "I've read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet, you see," explained the man. "I am General Zaroff." Now read the second excerpt. "The general's left eyelid fluttered down in a wink. "This island is called Ship-Trap," he answered. "Sometimes an angry god of the high seas sends them to me. Sometimes, when Providence is not so kind, I help Providence a bit. Come to the window with me." Rainsford went to the window and looked out toward the sea. "Watch! Out there!" exclaimed the general, pointing into the night. Rainsford's eyes saw only blackness, and then, as the general pressed a button, far out to sea Rainsford saw the flash of lights. The general chuckled. "They indicate a channel," he said, "where there's none: giant rocks with razor edges crouch like a sea monster with wide-open jaws. They can crush a ship as easily as I crush this nut." Readers must revise their predictions about the general after reading the second excerpt because initially he seems to be a gracious host, but then it is revealed that he has lured and trapped his guests. designs nautical gadgets. believes in mythical gods. has been unable to leave the island.

Answer:

has lured and trapped his guests.

Explanation:

In the second passage the general shows how he can signal to ships that there is a channel ahead. However, there is no channel. If a ship decides to head to the supposed channel, it will smash on the rocks. This is how the general lures people to the island. He then uses any survivors as prey so he can hunt them. He finds that hunting humans is much more challenging than hunting animals, and he enjoys a challenge.

Identify the steps to Eurylochus plan for the cattle
Firdavs [7]

Answer with Explanation:

After the Trojan War, Odysseus planned to go back home. Together with him was his second-in-command, Eurylochus (a cowardly man) Upon their return, they stopped over a mythological island called "Aeaea." This was the home of an enchantress named "Circe." So, instead of greeting Circe, Eurylochos stayed away and knew her treachery. He told Odysseus that the crew were turned into pigs, so Odysseus went to rescue his men. This started a fight between Eurylochos and Odysseus after he successfully saved his men from Circe. This ended in reconciliation and Circe telling Odysseus to seek advice from Tiresias<em> (a blind prophet of Apollo). </em>

The prophet told Odysseus that they shouldn't touch the "Cattle of Helios" or the "Oxen of the Sun." However, the crew were already hungry. Thus, Eurylochus convinced them to eat the cattle while Odysseus was asleep. He told the crew how better it would be to be killed by the gods rather than by hunger and thus, they believed him. They killed the cattle and ate them. Because of this, Zeus became very angry and destroyed their ship.

Everyone was killed except Odysseus <u>(the only survivor</u>).

Cite evidence from paragraph to answer the reason why whale sharks don’t bite or chew.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer and Explanation:

According to the paragraph, "Hueter believes the teeth are vestigial, an evolutionary leftover from the whale shark's ancestor." This explains why the whale shark does not bite or chew. A vestigial structure or organ is an anatomical feature that remains even though it no longer has use for the more evolved creature. An example of vestigial organ in humans is the appendix. In the case of the whale shark, the teeth are vestigial structures - they no longer function, but have remained as a leftover of evolution. That is why the whale shark cannot use them to bite or chew.
