Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell. "And now," said the general, "I want to show you my new col

lection of heads. Will you come with me to the library?" "I hope," said Rainsford, "that you will excuse me tonight, General Zaroff. I'm really not feeling at all well." "Ah, indeed?" the general inquired solicitously. "Well, I suppose that's only natural, after your long swim. You need a good, restful night's sleep. Tomorrow you'll feel like a new man, I'll wager. Then we'll hunt, eh? I've one rather promising prospect—" Rainsford was hurrying from the room. What logical predictions can a reader make based on the excerpt? Check all that apply. The general will retire from hunting in the morning. The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt. Rainsford will embrace the general’s ideas as his own. Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.

Answer:

The two logical predictions 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.

Explanation:

This excerpt of "The Most Dangerous Game" shows the moment after General Zaroff reveals his new hobby of hunting men instead of animals to Rainsford. Since Rainsford is a famous hunter himself, Zaroff hopes that he will be excited by the idea of hunting other human beings. Rainsford, however, is against it, calling it murder.

As we can see in the excerpt, Zaroff wants to show Rainsford his new collection of heads - the heads of the men he has killed -, but Rainsford refuses to see it by claiming he's not feeling very well. He is most likely already thinking of a way to escape. Still, the general is oblivious enough to think he and Rainsford are going hunting the next morning. We know Rainsford is against it, and will probably refuse to do it. But the general has quite a strong personality. From those pieces of information, we can logically predict that:

The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt.

Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.

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

Full Question

Read the excerpt from part 4 of Zeitoun.

Zeitoun had picked up and dropped off friends and relatives at the station a handful of times over the years. Fronted by a lush lawn and palm trees, the Union Passenger Terminal had opened in 1954, an art deco-style building once aspiring to grandness but since overtaken by a certain grey municipal malaise. There was a whimsical candy-colored sculpture on the lawn that looked like a bunch of child's toys glued together without reason or order.

Why does the author include this description?

  • to present Zeitoun as a New Orleans resident and family man
  • to criticize the architectural choices in downtown New Orleans
  • to illustrate the grim, military realities of post-Katrina New Orleans
  • to show Zeitoun's discomfort in the grand downtown area.

In the poem “Afterwards,” Hardy uses figurative language, including euphemism, to develop meaning and tone. What is the meaning
Alja [10]
I read an analysis of the poem "Afterwards" by Thomas Hardy.

Euphemism is defined as the use of an indirect word or expression as a substitute of the actual word or expression that is either too harsh or blunt when referring to something embarrassing or extremely unpleasant. 

Afterwards is used as a euphemism for death. Each stanza refers to the narrator dying in a certain season or time. 1st stanza deals with dying during the month of May and spring time. 2nd Stanza deals with dying on an autumn season. 3rd stanza deals with dying on a summer night. 4th stanza deals with dying on a winter night. 5th stanza deals with the funeral of the person. 

Death is a very unpleasant topic to talk about and in the poem, it is being discussed in line with nature and its seasons. The poem uses metaphors and personification to make the subject more relatable to the readers and to enable the readers to appreciate the beauty of death without fearing it.
