!!PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP!! Describe each of Rainsford's traps.

English
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1) Rainsford moves in a path intended to confuse Zaroff. He winds around and doubles back, walking (running) in loops. This attempt to lose Zaroff is unsuccessful.  

2) Rainsford's first true trap is what was called a Malay mancatcher. He made the trap by balancing a dead tree upon a cut living tree. One of the boughs is then set as a trigger for the trap, which when set off would cause the dead tree to fall.  

3) There was also the Burmese tiger pit. This trap was created by digging a hole in the Death Swamp and filling it with stakes, which were then hidden by woven grass. One of Zaroff's dogs is killed in this trap.  

4) Rainsford's final trap was a trick he'd been taught in Uganda. He fastened a knife to the end of a young tree (the youth of the tree would have made it pliable).

5. It is a fallacy that the earth is flat.

6. You need to make a clear distinction between your first and  second idea.

7. There was a large altercation between two teams in the middle  of the field.

8. The suspect had an accomplice when they committed the crime.

9. Susan made a conscious effort to be nice to her new friend.

Explanation:

To be able to fix the right words in the blanks given, it is necessary that the reader takes note of context clues. In the first sentence, for example, chaotic is a state of disorder. Therefore, it fits the description of a noisy crowd.

In the second sentence also, the word cerebral refers to a brainy person. Since the basketball player used his knowledge of the game well, he could be described as cerebral or brainy in matters pertaining to basketball.
