The text is a literary excerpt. To determine which detail supports the idea that Rainsford is justified in killing the hunter (General Zaroff), we analyze each option.
- "A man, who had been hiding in the curtains of the bed, was standing there." - This just describes Rainsford's position, no support for justification.
- "Swam," said Rainsford. "I found it quicker than walking through the jungle." - Tells how he got there, no justification.
- "Rainsford did not smile. 'I am still a beast at bay,' he said, in a low, hoarse voice. 'Get ready, General Zaroff.' " - Shows Rainsford sees himself as a cornered "beast" (defending himself), which can imply justification as self - defense.
- "He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided." - This is about his post - event comfort, not justification.
