Answer:

Meaning of laconic

It's the style of talking, people who answer in the few brief words. So, in this passage it shows that wife doesn't talk generally, but briefly, since it also says "occasionally correcting him on his lefts and rights", so she didn't really give the directions she just corrected his husband.

If the general is also a Cossack, then wouldn't his characterization of Ivan also apply to him? Contrast this with your initial
kupik [55]

Hello. This question is about The Most Dangerous Game "by Richard Connell

Answer and Explanation:

The characterization that General Zaroff promotes of his servant Ivan can apply to himself, in parts and even General Zaroff himself agrees with this.

He claims that Ivan is a good servant and is very strong, but in addition to being deaf and dumb, he is wild and rude, this is the result of his race, since Ivan is a Cossack. After releasing this information, the general smiles and states that he is also a Cossack. With this, the general uses the characterization of Ivan for him, in parts. He shows that despite being a cultured and well-educated man, he belongs to the same race as Ivan, which makes him a wild man, inside. This is proven throughout history.
