Answer: 1) The line indicates that Zaroff regards all animals as superior to humans.

Step-by-step explanation: In the given excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, we can see how General Zaroff describes how he likes to hunt men (lassars, blacks, Chinese, whites, etc), instead of animals. He expresses his thought of a horse or a hound having more worth that a group of men, this shows that Zaroff regards all animals as superior to humans, so the correct answer is option 1.
