Summarizing Central Ideas in The Dark Game, Part 1
Question 5 • TPS-202627-ENG-English 1B-CR
Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."I suggest, too, that you avoid the big swamp in the southeast corner of the island. We call it Death Swamp. There's quicksand there. One foolish fellow tried it. The deplorable part of it was that Lazarus followed him. You can imagine my feelings, Mr. Rainsford. I loved Lazarus; he was the finest hound in my pack.
Answer
A
values animals more than human life.
B
wants Rainsford to survive the hunt.
C
is a fair opponent for Rainsford.
D
will do anything to track down his prey.
Explanation
Zaroff calls the hound’s death “the deplorable part” of the incident and says Lazarus was the finest dog in his pack. His wording shows more concern for the dog than for the “foolish fellow” who entered the swamp. This suggests that Zaroff values animals more than human life.
