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:

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

At first, the general really seemed like a nice man as he was warm and welcoming. 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. Therefore, it can be predicted that Rainsford was lured to his place.

Alenkinab [10]

What does the great banquet reveal about the Middle Ages?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

hopefully this will help

Explanation:

The food served was quite different in quantity, and in some respects nature, from everyday meals, which for most people were apt to start with (or, for the poor, consist of) vegetable pottages (soups or stews). For a banquet, vegetables, if any—in England, they rarely appear on feast menus—were vastly outnumbered by a parade of roasts or fish of all kinds, and more elaborate dishes.
