Answer:

The correct answer is three days.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question refers to the text "The most dangerous game" by Richard Connell.

Zaroff represents all those rich people who had fun killing animals in Africa, but now has decided that he needs something more, and that is hunting human beings.

Looking for empathy, Connell places us as victims, also represented by another hunter, Robert Rainsford. Zaroff will show himself as the unscrupulous hunter, clothed in a moral covering that he has created to justify his behavior. The ecstasy of the hunt, the imposition of your prey. Really nothing that sets him apart from a safari hunter, beyond the aim of his rifle.

Let's see the following quote:

"If my quarry eludes me for three whole days, I wins the game. If I find him "--the general smiled--" he loses. "
