Writing an Argument Based on “The Most Dangerous Game,” Part 3

Question 6 • MO-English Language Arts 9 B-CR

Read the claim about "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell.Rainsford is humbled by Zaroff’s game.

Answer
A
Rainsford is really conceited, but then Zaroff hunts him and he becomes more humble than before.
B
Rainsford is scared during the hunt, and he stops being conceited and starts being humble.
C
Rainsford learns humbleness through fear when roles are reversed and he is the hunted—not the hunter.
D
Rainsford experiences modesty when he is trapped on the deserted island with Zaroff, a hunter of men.

Explanation

Rainsford begins the story confident in his position as a hunter and dismisses the fear prey animals feel. When Zaroff hunts him, Rainsford experiences what it is like to be hunted, giving him a new understanding of the hunted animal’s fear. This reversal of roles supports the claim that Zaroff’s game humbles him. Choice C states this idea most clearly.
