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.

Answer: has lured and trapped his guests

Explanation:

Initially, the general seems to be a gracious host, but then it is revealed that he has lured and trapped his guests.

The general then invited Rainsford to the window with him and showed how dangerous he is as he said the razor edges crouch can crush any ship as easily as he can crush the nut.
