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 <em>"seen you pick off a moose moving"</em> shows how excellent Rainford is in his hunting skills.
Rainsford's statement of <em>"who cares how a jaguar feels"</em> shows his unsympathetic attitude towards the animals he hunts.
Whitney's prediction of <em>"it will be light in Rio"</em> shows he has been there before.

Answer:
Dear sir or madam,
First of all, I would like to thank you for the admission to this prestigious school. The reason for this letter is that I do not find the program suitable for me.
The program the school offered me is in English and Literature, it is a complete program and suitable for students who want to pursue a career in English, but my interests are in Computer and Science. A program in English would not help me to grow in this field.
Another reason why I do not find the program suitable is that it is centered in American literature and does not include English literature or other languages, which can be beneficial to have different points of view and develop better critical thinking skills.
Due to the mentioned reasons, I would like for my program to be changed to one that fits my interests and challenges me to develop my skills. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Susan Johnson.
Explanation:
When we write to the headteacher or a teacher in the school, we should use formal language.
First, we have to address the person by writing dear and their name. As we do not know the name, we use sir or madam or headmaster. Then, we make an introduction where we talk about why we are writing. In the following paragraphs, we describe in detail why we want the headteacher to change our program. Lastly, we politely ask for the program to be changed and say our goodbyes.
Answer:
B. This remark tells us that much of humanity has lost its appreciation for earth and nature, to the point of resenting its mere appearance.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the short story entitled, "The Machine Stops." It focuses on two characters namely, <em>Vashti</em> and<em> Kuno (her son).</em> In the story, <u>people were living underground</u> and no longer on the surface of the earth. They were able to meet their needs through a global <em>Machine. </em>People were placed in<em> isolated rooms</em> where they communicated with other people through <em>instant messages and video conferences. </em>There were actually some people called the "homeless outcasts" who tried to live on the surface of the Earth.
Unlike her son<em>, Kuno</em>, who was interested to visit and know more about the surface of the Earth, <em>Vashti</em> was<em> "not interested in natural inspiration." </em>So, this explains her remark above. It shows<u> how much of humanity has lost their appreciation for earth and nature.</u> This is the extent to which the underground Machine did to people in the "poisoned darkness."
So, this explains the answer.
