Question

Select all the correct answers.

Read this excerpt from Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game.” Which two emotions does the story’s setting inspire in the reader?

"Off there to the right—somewhere—is a large island," said Whitney."

It's rather a mystery—"

"What island is it?" Rainsford asked.

"The old charts call it ‘Ship-Trap Island,’” Whitney replied." A
suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I
don't know why. Some superstition—"

"Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank
tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness
in upon the yacht.

"You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh," and I've seen you pick
off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but
even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night."

"Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet."

"It will be light enough in Rio," promised Whitney. "We should make it
in a few days. I hope the jaguar guns have come from Purdey's. We should
have some good hunting up the Amazon. Great sport, hunting."

happiness
fear
anger
anxiety

Answer 1

I think the two answer choices are fear and anxiety.

Step-by-step explanation:

First is fear because they don't know where they are and they are trying to look for the island. The other choice is anxiety because neither of them can see 4 yards in front of them.

I hope this helps you!
