Read the following and answer the question below:

"My dear fellow," said the general, "have I not told you I always mean what I say about hunting? This is really an inspiration. I drink to a foeman worthy of my steel--at last." The general raised his glass, but Rainsford sat staring at him.

"You'll find this game worth playing," the general said enthusiastically." Your brain against mine. Your woodcraft against mine. Your strength and stamina against mine. Outdoor chess! And the stake is not without value, eh?"

"And if I win--" began Rainsford huskily.

"I'll cheerfully acknowledge myself defeat if I do not find you by midnight of the third day," said General Zaroff. "My sloop will place you on the mainland near a town." The general read what Rainsford was thinking.

"Oh, you can trust me," said the Cossack. "I will give you my word as a gentleman and a sportsman. Of course you, in turn, must agree to say nothing of your visit here."

"I'll agree to nothing of the kind," said Rainsford.

What does the interaction in "The Most Dangerous Game" between Zaroff and Rainsford reveal about Zaroff's attitude toward Rainsford?

Question 17 options:

1. Zaroff respects Rainsford and thinks that he will be a worthy opponent.


2. Zaroff sees Rainsford as something he can hunt (nothing more).


3. Zaroff hopes Rainsford will play and beat Ivan in a game of chess. Zaroff's still steamed after Ivan took him for $350 plus a package of Twinkies last time they played.

4. Zaroff cares very deeply for Rainsford and his well-being.
