Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game." "Pure imagination," said Rainsford. "One superstitious sailor can taint the whole ship's company with his fear." What does this line of dialogue reveal about Rainsford’s character?

Rainsford dismisses the sailors’ fear as “pure imagination” and suggests that one superstitious sailor has spread that fear to the rest of the crew. This shows that he trusts reason rather than superstition and is not worried by the sailors’ claims. The correct choice is D, “He is a rational man who is unaffected by superstition.”
