Which line provides evidence that Rainsford’s actions are justified because Zaroff was unlikely to let him go?

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. "Splendid! One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed."

Explanation:

Zaroff and Rainsford are characters in Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game." They are both dexterous hunters who have no empathy for their prey. The one difference between them is that Rainsford hunts animals, while Zaroff hunts men.

Rainsford becomes Zaroff's brand new game. By the end of the story, he has managed to escape the forest and enter Zaroff's house unnoticed. Once Zaroff enters his own bedroom, Rainsford appears. <u>Zaroff had promised to let Rainsford go if he managed to remain alive for three days after the hunt started. However, even though he admits Rainsford has won, he does not intend to let him go. </u>This is what he says:

C. "Splendid! One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed."

<u>Zaroff is confident he will kill Rainsford and feed him to his dogs. Rainsford has no choice but fight and kill Zaroff to guarantee his own survival.</u> That is what he does.

How does the poet’s simile comparing ""life’s ambitions"" and ""a faulty pilot light"" contribute to the central idea of the poe
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Both eventually come to an end or die.

Explanation:

"The Coming Of  Night" is a poem written by Linda Pastan. The poem is about how the speaker accepts the inevitability  of death. The them of the poem is death.

A simile is a rhetoric device thaat is used to compare two unlike things or objects or ideas.

<u>In the poem, Pastan has compared the ambition with the 'pilot light.' It is important to know that the 'pilot light' is an important instrument to run an appliance. So, by comparing life's ambition with 'pilot light', the poet is making a point that just like the pilot light is vital to run appliances, ambitions are important to run a life. Which means that the poet is conveying a message that a life without an ambition is likely to end just as a 'faulty pilot light' will come to an end</u>.  

This comparison helps in the contribution to the central idea oof how life slowly ends without an ambition, just like a faulty pilot light.

Alja [10]

Answer:

Possibly

Explanation:

I would get a "team" of people to help me, but not alot so that they drag me down, and would then immediately get supplies eg. weapons, food and water. Depending on the game I would either find a camping space and wait for a while or would get out there and fight, I'm also lucky enough to have good instincts so that also helps lol.
