ot for the jaguar.\ \dont talk rot, whitney,\ said rainsford. \youre a big - game hunter, not a philosopher. who cares how a jaguar feels?\ \perhaps the jaguar does,\ observed whitney. \bah! theyve no understanding.\ \even so, i rather think they understand one thing—fear. the fear of pain and the fear of death.\
onsense,\ laughed rainsford. \this hot weather is making you soft, whitney. be a realist. the world is made up of two classes—the hunters and the huntees. luckily, you and i are hunters. do you think weve passed that island yet?\ use the paragraphs to answer the question. how does the author use whitney’s sarcastic remarks to develop meaning in these paragraphs? (1 point) whitneys remarks reveal how he and rainsford became big - game hunters. whitney’s remarks reveal rainsfords arrogance and lack of sympathy. whitney’s remarks reveal his lack of concern for what a hunted jaguar feels. whitney’s remarks reveal that rainsford views hunting as a form of philosophy.
Whitney's remarks, such as "Not for the jaguar" and "Perhaps the jaguar does" (referring to caring about its feelings), contrast with Rainsford's dismissive attitude ("Who cares how a jaguar feels?"; "Bah! They've no understanding"). This contrast highlights Rainsford's arrogance (thinking Whitney is being "soft" for considering the jaguar's perspective) and lack of sympathy (not caring about the hunted animal's experience). The other options are incorrect: there's no indication of how they became hunters in the text; Whitney shows concern for the jaguar (so the third option is wrong); and Rainsford dismisses philosophy (calling Whitney "not a philosopher"), so the fourth option is wrong.
