Beth is writing an essay based on what she read in "The Most Dangerous Game, Part 1" and "The Most Dangerous Game, Part 2"Which excerpt from the story best supports her idea that Rainsford is a skilled hunter? Eagerly he hurried along, now slipping on a rotten log or a loose stone, but making headway; night was beginning to settle down on the island. "You have some wonderful heads here," said Rainsford as he ate a particularly well cooked filet mignon. "That Cape buffalo is the largest I ever saw.” He executed a series of intricate loops; he doubled on his trail again and again, recalling all the lore of the fox hunt, and all the dodges of the fox. He flattened himself down on the limb and, through a screen of leaves almost as thick as tapestry, he watched. . . . That which was approaching was a man.

" He executed a series of intricate loops; he doubled on his trail again and again, recalling all the lore of the fox hunt, and all the dodges of the fox."

Explanation:

"The Most Dangerous Game" is one that tells a story about a human hunt. Rainsford is a skillful hunter who, after surviving a shipwreck, finds himself on the island of the cruel Zaroff, another skillful hunter, who grew tired of the traditional hunt and decided to hunt humans from now on.

Zaroff demands that Rainsford be his new hunt. Rainsfor is forced to participate in this survival game and it is at that moment that he shows that he is a great hunter, as can be seen by the excerpt: " He executed a series of intricate loops; he doubled on his trail again and again, recalling all the lore of the fox hunt, and all the dodges of the fox."
