Read this excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell. In a cultivated voice marked by a slight accent that gave

it added precision and deliberateness, he said: "It is a very great pleasure and honor to welcome Mr. Sanger Rainsford, the celebrated hunter, to my home." Automatically Rainsford shook the man's hand. "I've read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet, you see," explained the man. "I am General Zaroff." Now read the second excerpt. "The general's left eyelid fluttered down in a wink. "This island is called Ship-Trap," he answered. "Sometimes an angry god of the high seas sends them to me. Sometimes, when Providence is not so kind, I help Providence a bit. Come to the window with me." Rainsford went to the window and looked out toward the sea. "Watch! Out there!" exclaimed the general, pointing into the night. Rainsford's eyes saw only blackness, and then, as the general pressed a button, far out to sea Rainsford saw the flash of lights. The general chuckled. "They indicate a channel," he said, "where there's none: giant rocks with razor edges crouch like a sea monster with wide-open jaws. They can crush a ship as easily as I crush this nut." Readers must revise their predictions about the general after reading the second excerpt because initially he seems to be a gracious host, but then it is revealed that he

The reader's perception of General Zaroff changes between the two excerpts. At first, the reader believes that Zaroff is a welcoming host (indicated by the phrase "It is a very great pleasure..."). However, upon reading the second excerpt, the reader learns that Zaroff is dangerous, since he has a contraption to wreck ships (and then laughs about it). The reader can further predict that Sanger Rainsford was lured there on purpose, since Zaroff already knows about his hunting skills.

What type of rhyme is used in this excerpt from William Butler Yeats's poem "The Municipal Gallery Revisited"? My mediaeval knee
Arlecino [84]
Hello, the answer here would be "slant rhyme". It cannot be a "strict rhyme" because it is not strict, the rhyme changes throughout the poem, it doesn't follow the same scheme. It isn't "internal rhyme" as well, because the words don't rhyme within a single line. It isn't a "double rhyme" because these are all monosyllabic words (one syllable) and for it to be a double rhyme there needs to be at least to syllables in a word. So the only option is "slant rhyme", which isn't exactly rhyming, for example, "dear" and "door" would be considered slant rhyme.

Mrs.ramos consider needs of her family in preparing budget plan rather than wants. Which is considered as want only?
stepan [7]

Answer:

A). Magazines.

Explanation:

'Need' is characterized as the requirement of a resource or thing while 'want' is described as the 'desire or wish to have something.' <u>The need is essential while a want is a craving or wish</u>. Since Mrs. Ramos is considering only the needs of family members while preparing the budget plan, she would adjudge 'magazines' as want because it is not an essential item without which the house cannot run. The other things 'toothpaste, cleaning supply, and laundry detergent' are the essential requirements of the house and thus, they would be included in the budget. Hence, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
