Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game." A man, who had been hiding in the curtains of the bed, was standing there. "Rainsford!" screamed the general. "How in God's name did you get here?" "Swam," said Rainsford. "I found it quicker than walking through the jungle." The general sucked in his breath and smiled. "I congratulate you," he said. "You have won the game." Rainsford did not smile. "I am still a beast at bay," he said, in a low, hoarse voice. "Get ready, General Zaroff." The general made one of his deepest bows. "I see," he said. "Splendid! One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed. On guard, Rainsford." . . . He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided. Adrian is writing an essay about "The Most Dangerous Game.” Which detail from the excerpt best supports his idea that Rainsford is unchanged and still feels that the hunter is justified in killing the hunted?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is B. Rainsford did not smile. "I am still a beast at bay," he said, in a low, hoarse voice. "Get ready, General Zaroff."

Rainsford doesn't just settle with winning the game. He was hunted and managed to escape. There's nothing else he can do now than hunt the one who hadn't hunted him down. His worldview is still that simple and binary, even after he experienced all the fear and suffering of a hunted being, for the first time in his life. Now, he can't just let go; he has to exterminate his opponent. Only then can he get a good night's sleep.
