Answer:
Explanation:
If you have read this book you know that Rainsford has a conflict with Zaroff after falling into the sea. This man gets his own island to hunt and is a brilliant sportsman who has developed an innovative type of hunting games. Their basic goal is to train people whose ships are wrecked because it gives them food and knives for a few days. After that, Zaroff begins to hunt them down so they need to survive to win this kind of strange game and stay alive. The worst part is that he kills them if he can find these poor men.
For this reason, based on this, we can conclude that the logical predictions that a reader can make based on the excerpt are:
Answer:
The two logical predictions a reader can make based on the excerpt are:
The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt.
Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.
Explanation:
This excerpt of "The Most Dangerous Game" shows the moment after General Zaroff reveals his new hobby of hunting men instead of animals to Rainsford. Since Rainsford is a famous hunter himself, Zaroff hopes that he will be excited by the idea of hunting other human beings. Rainsford, however, is against it, calling it murder.
As we can see in the excerpt, Zaroff wants to show Rainsford his new collection of heads - the heads of the men he has killed -, but Rainsford refuses to see it by claiming he's not feeling very well. He is most likely already thinking of a way to escape. Still, the general is oblivious enough to think he and Rainsford are going hunting the next morning. We know Rainsford is against it, and will probably refuse to do it. But the general has quite a strong personality. From those pieces of information, we can logically predict that:
The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt.
Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.
