Answer :

The following details from the narration show that Rainsford is an experienced hunter and outdoor enthusiast :

C. Some wounded thing, by the evidence a large animal, had thrashed about in the underbrush;  

Rainsford's experienced eye could make out a wounded animal in the closely knit web of weeds and trees.

D. the jungle weeds were crushed down and the moss was lacerated; one patch of weeds was stained crimson

Rainsford noticed that some weeds were crushed down. This can only happen due to the weight of a wild wounded animal. He also noticed that the moss was torn at certain places and a patch of weeds was stained crimson from the blood of a hunted animal. Being an experienced hunter, Rainsford could pick up all these signs of a hunted prey.

E. A small, glittering object not far away caught Rainsford's eye and he picked it up. It was an empty cartridge.

Rainsford was a highly skilled and experienced hunter so he could not help but notice the empty cartridge lying near the wounded animal. He could easily recognize it from years of hunting experience.

Identify the italicized figure of speech.
Usimov [2.4K]
You didn't italicize any words, so I will just try to explain the figures of speech you have listed above, and hopefully that will help you.

1. hyperbole - this is exaggeration. For example, 'I waited for him for a hundred years' to denote you had to wait for someone for a longer period of time. You didn't really wait for him for a hundred years - it is an exaggeration. Poets and writers often use this figure of speech in order to make a statement, and impact on the reader. I can't see examples of hyperbole in this excerpt, so I wouldn't choose that as the correct option here.

2. paradox - paradox is a figure of speech in which you combine two things which are opposite from each other in nature. It creates an absurd phrase because two contradictory statements are brought together, such as 'drinking a lot of water can make you thirsty.' I can see an example of paradox in the excerpt above, which is "day brought back my night." Day and night are each other's opposites, which makes a paradox if they are brought together like this. 

3. understatement - this is a figure of speech which authors use when they want to make something appear to have a lesser value than it actually has; when they want to demean something as being less important that what it seems. An example of an understatement would be the following - you get a lot of money at a lottery, and when asked how you feel about it, you say 'I'm happy.' You would obviously feel much stronger emotions if this happened. I don't see instances of understatement here either.

I would choose paradox as the correct answer here.

olasank [31]
Australian football because it has the most contact in the sport. It is interesting watching other countries play the sport and see their rules and how different it is.
