Zahra is writing an essay about "The Most Dangerous Game." Which excerpt from the story best supports her idea that Rainsford is a rational individual who does not panic under pressure?

The excerpt says Rainsford becomes “cool-headed” while in a tight place, directly showing that he thinks calmly under pressure instead of panicking. The other excerpts describe his situation, effort, or mood, but do not state as clearly that he remains rational in a crisis. The best choice is “A certain cool-headedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place.”
