Answer:

  • The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt
  • Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island

Explanation:

If you have read this book you know that Rainsford has a conflict with Zaroff after falling into the sea. This man gets his own island to hunt and is a brilliant sportsman who has developed an innovative type of hunting games. Their basic goal is to train people whose ships are wrecked because it gives them food and knives for a few days. After that, Zaroff begins to hunt them down so they need to survive to win this kind of strange game and stay alive. The worst part is that he kills them if he can find these poor men.

For this reason, based on this, we can conclude that the logical predictions that a reader can make based on the excerpt are:

  • The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt
  • Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island
