Step-by-step explanation:

"The Most Dangerous Game" written by Richard Connell tells the story of a game hunter Sanger Rainsford becoming the victim of a ruthless man's game-hunting. This short story gives the hunter-hunted relationship a detaild analysis, with the hunter becoming the hunted by a much more barbaric man's greed for exciting game.

Sanger Rainsford and his friend Whitney were on their way to the Amazon Basin to be a part of a jaguar hunting expedition. But on the way, he fell off the ship and was left behind, in a notorious island dangerous island, dreaded by sailors. The particular passage provided in the question suggests a person vs. environment conflict, for it is when he was left in the forest of the island, looking for any form of human habitation. This conflict is before he came upon General Zaroff's mansion, Rainsford trying to find any form of human existence in the island. This particular scene shows him struggling against nature, him being at the mercy of the island for his very survival.
