Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game." "I wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "So I said: 'What are the attributes of an ideal quarry?' And the answer was, of course, 'It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason.'" "But no animal can reason," objected Rainsford. "My dear fellow," said the general, "there is one that can." "But you can't mean—" gasped Rainsford. "And why not?" "I can't believe you are serious, General Zaroff. This is a grisly joke." "Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting." "Hunting? General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder." Rainsford’s response to Zaroff indicates that he is opposed to the idea of hunting humans. he does not understand that Zaroff is hunting humans. he will soon be joining Zaroff in the hunt for humans. he thinks Zaroff has the right to hunt humans.

Answer 2
Answer:

Hey there! :D


In the story "The Most Dangerous Game," the general is hunting down humans for sport. In response to this confession, Rainsford says that hunting down humans is murder. We can eliminate any answer choice that has a positive correlation to what the general is saying. He wouldn't join Zaroff in hunting humans if he thought it was murder. He doesn't think it's right either.


We are left with two options. One elaborates that Rainsford is opposed to hunting humans, and the other is that he does not understand why Zaroff is hunting humans. What goes along with what Rainsford's dialogue is saying more than the other? Well, Rainsford doesn't understand why the General is hunting humans. 'This is a grisly joke.' But, he clearly states that he thinks that hunting humans is considered murder. And he clearly expresses the idea that he is very opposed to it. I think the best answer choice is:


"Rainsford's response to Zaroff indicates that... he is opposed to the idea of hunting humans."


I hope this helps!

Which sentence is punctuated incorrectly? The famous Fifth Symphony was composed after Beethoven went deaf.
Beethoven composed his famous Fifth Symphony after he had gone deaf.
After he had gone deaf, Beethoven composed his famous, Fifth Symphony.
Beethoven's famous Fifth Symphony was composed after he had gone deaf.
A?

Answers

Answer:

After he had gone deaf, Beethoven composed his famous, Fifth Symphony.

Explanation:

The chosen sentence contains a comma which wrongly separates the adjective famous from the noun phrase it modifies, which is Fifth Symphony. Therefore, the correct version of the sentence is:

After he had gone deaf, Beethoven composed his famous Fifth Symphony.

The rest of the alternatives are accurately punctuated.

Actually the answer is D. A is missing a comma. B is too. C shouldn't have a common after the word famous.

Name three adjectives that describe the beach on a summer day

Answers

Answer:

warmth, sunny and crowded

Explanation:

Adjectives, also known as modifiers, are words that describe or modify nouns and pronouns. They are normally positioned before the noun that they are describing or modifying. However,  when using linking verbs such as be or seen, they can be placed after the noun.

Bearing in mind the above, it could be said that, among the adjectives that could describe a beach on a summer day are: warmth, sunny and crowded. For instance: "As it was expected on a summer day, the beach waswarmth, sunny and crowded"

A beach would most likely be described as hot, humid, and relaxing.
