In "The Most Dangerous Game," General Zaroff explains to Rainsford that if Rainsford survives being hunted for three days, the general will release him.

"I will give you my word as a gentleman and a sportsman. Of course, you, in turn, must agree to say nothing of your visit here."

"I'll agree to nothing of the kind," said Rainsford.

What does this interaction reveal about Rainsford's motivations or values?

(A). Despite Rainsford's many skills, he does not know how to win a negotiation.

(B). Rainsford's sense of honor is so strong that he refuses a deal that would help him.

(C). Although Rainsford is an expert hunter, his flaw is that he misses opportunities.

(D). Rainsford is so conceited that he would rather insult Zaroff than make a deal with him.
