Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game." "Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. I am strong. Why should I not use my gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not? I hunt the scu m of the earth—sailors from tramp ships—lascars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels—a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them." "But they are men," said Rainsford hotly. This excerpt shows that unlike Zaroff, Rainsford has still retained his sense of fairness. humanity. humor. entitlement.

Answer:

This excerpt shows that unlike Zaroff, Rainsford has retained his sense of HUMANITY.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, Zaroff is talking about human beings and comparing them to thoroughbred horses and calling them despicable names, vowing that he would kill as much as he can because he is strong but they are weak.

In contrast, Rainsford counters him in an angry manner by reminding him that they are still human beings which shows that Rainsford still retains his humanity.

How do the central ideas and tone of the speech reflect Satanta’s cultural values?
pshichka [43]
Satanta was a leader of the Kiowa tribe who fought an endless war to protect his tribe's land from being taken away from the U.S. government. In the 1860s and 1870s, the Kiowa Indians waged an ongoing battle to protect their land and way of life from the U.S. encroachment. Satanta also known as White Bear, was a major Kiowa leader in favor of resistance. Besides his prowess as a warrior, Satanta was also a famed orator -a fact attested by his American-given nickname "The Orator of the Plains."

Which two pairs of lines in this excerpt from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe best show that the speaker is still haunted by the
Alex_Xolod [135]
Are these the lines you were referring to?

<span>1)Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore 

2)This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core

3)But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore

4)Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor

5)Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!"

The answer would then be 3 and 5.

The lines of choice 3 is referring to the velvet violet lining of the cushion where Lenore used to sit. He remembers that Lenore will no longer sit on that cushion again. 

The lines of choice 5 on the other hand refers to the part where he was having delusions. The imaginary smell he supposed was nepenthe, which in mythology was a drink or a potion that helps one forget. He claimed it must be a scent sent by God to help him forget Lenore.
