Question

In the "Most Dangerous Game" Rainsford is not caught at the end of the first day's hunt because General Zaroff chooses not to finish the hunt but instead to prolong the pleasure of his sport.

1) True
2) False

Answer 1

The statement is true. In 'The Most Dangerous Game,' General Zaroff intentionally lets Rainsford escape at the end of the first day to extend his pleasure in the hunt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is true. In the story The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, General Zaroff does not catch Rainsford at the end of the first day because he wants to savor the hunt.

Zaroff is portrayed as a refined hunter who takes pleasure in the psychological aspects of the hunt as much as the physical chase.

Rather than simply capturing or killing Rainsford when he has the opportunity, General Zaroff chooses to let him go in order to prolong the excitement he derives from the hunt,

making the game more challenging for himself and entertaining the twisted notion that he is playing a fair game with his human prey.
