Answer:

"What island is it?" Rainsford asked. - This is the first time Rainsford has made this journey .

"I've seen you pick off a moose moving... at four hundred yards." - Rainsford is an excellent hunter.

"Who cares how a jaguar feels? - Rainsford does not sympathize the animals he kills.

"It will be light in Rio," promised Whitney - Whitney has been to Rio before.

Explanation:

The short story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell tells the story of how a famed and experienced hunter became the victim of a much more dangerous man. The story also delves into the roles of the hunter and the hunted, and how the two roles are twisted in this story.

When Sanger Rainsford asked Whitney where they are, this shows that he is not familiar with the place and is his first time journeying to this place.

Whitney's statement of him having "seen you pick off a moose moving" shows how excellent Rainford is in his hunting skills.

Rainsford's statement of "who cares how a jaguar feels" shows his unsympathetic attitude towards the animals he hunts.

Whitney's prediction of "it will be light in Rio" shows he has been there before.

In a well-constructed response, explain how Carrie Chapman Catt, the author of “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage,” demons

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage.

Explanation:

In her “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage”, Carrie Chapman Catt uses the rhetorical device of kairos by constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage. This can be seen in the beginning of her speech when she mentions "Three distinct causes made it inevitable."

As kairos as a literary device means using balance and decorum in the speech/writing, Carrie makes sure that her speech contain step by step explanation for every objective. She then finally comes to the end of her speech by projecting the listeners and stakeholders of their part in the bringing a change.

Carrie uses the opportunity of kairos to direct her speech to the listeners and statesmen by asking them whether to support women's suffrage or not. This can be seen in the last lines of her speech "Woman suffrage is coming -- you know it. Will you, Honorable Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, help or hinder it?"

Whose belief in civil disobedience did the Beats emulate?

GrogVix [38]

This is of course somewhat of a subjective question, but in general most would agree that Beats emulated "D. Ezra Pound" since their tactics were similar.
