Question

read the excerpt from \the most dangerous game.\ \i wanted the ideal animal to hunt,\ explained the general. \so i said: what are the attributes of an ideal quarry? and the answer was, of course, it must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason.\ \but no animal can reason,\ objected rainsford. \my dear fellow,\ said the general, \there is one that can.\ \but you cant mean—\ gasped rainsford. \and why not?\ \i cant believe you are serious, general zaroff. this is a grisly joke.\ \why should i not be serious? i am speaking of hunting.\ \hunting? general zaroff, what you speak of is murder.\ rainsfords response to zaroff indicates that ○ he is opposed to the idea of hunting humans. ○ he does not understand that zaroff is hunting humans. ○ he will soon be joining zaroff in the hunt for humans. ○ he thinks zaroff has the right to hunt humans.

Explanation:

Rainsford says "This is a grisly joke" and "what you speak of is murder" when he realizes Zaroff is talking about hunting humans. These responses show his opposition. He clearly understands Zaroff's intention (so the option about not understanding is wrong). He doesn't show any sign of joining (so that option is wrong) and his words show he doesn't think Zaroff has the right (so that option is wrong).

Answer:

he is opposed to the idea of hunting humans.
