Making Predictions and Visualizing with “The Most Dangerous Game,” Part 2

Question 3 • MO-English Language Arts 9 B-CR

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell."Civilized? And you shoot down men?"A trace of anger was in the general's black eyes, but it was there for but a second, and he said, in his most pleasant manner: "Dear me, what a righteous young man you are! I assure you I do not do the thing you suggest. That would be barbarous. I treat these visitors with every consideration.

Answer
A
The general is insulted.
B
The general is amused.
C
The general is nervous.
D
The general is apologetic.

Explanation

The general responds with a pleasant, teasing remark: “what a righteous young man you are!” That suggests he is amused by the accusation rather than genuinely apologetic or nervous. Although a trace of anger briefly appears in his eyes, it lasts only a second and does not dominate his response. The best choice is that the general is amused.
