Answer:

"What island is it?" Rainsford asked. - This is the first time Rainsford has made this journey .

"I've seen you pick off a moose moving... at four hundred yards." - Rainsford is an excellent hunter.

"Who cares how a jaguar feels? - Rainsford does not sympathize the animals he kills.

"It will be light in Rio," promised Whitney - Whitney has been to Rio before.

Step-by-step explanation:

The short story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell tells the story of how a famed and experienced hunter became the victim of a much more dangerous man. The story also delves into the roles of the hunter and the hunted, and how the two roles are twisted in this story.

When Sanger Rainsford asked Whitney where they are, this shows that he is not familiar with the place and is his first time journeying to this place.

Whitney's statement of him having "seen you pick off a moose moving" shows how excellent Rainford is in his hunting skills.

Rainsford's statement of "who cares how a jaguar feels" shows his unsympathetic attitude towards the animals he hunts.

Whitney's prediction of "it will be light in Rio" shows he has been there before.
