Question

read the excerpt from the most dangerous game.
rainsfords first impression was that the man was singularly handsome; his second was that there was an original, almost bizarre quality about the generals face. he was a tall man past middle age, for his hair was a vivid white; but his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night from which rainsford had come. his eyes, too, were black and very bright. he had high cheek bones, a sharp-cut nose, a spare, dark face, the face of a man used to giving orders, the face of an aristocrat. turning to the giant in uniform, the general made a sign. the giant put away his pistol, saluted, withdrew.
what details from the narration relate rainsfords impression of zaroff? select 4 options.
□ almost bizarre quality about the generals face
□ his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night
□ his eyes, too, were black and very bright
□ the face of an aristocrat
□ turning to the giant in uniform, the general made a sign
□ the giant put away his pistol, saluted, withdrew

Explanation:

We need to select details from the text that directly describe Rainsford's impression of Zaroff, excluding actions involving the giant (which are about Zaroff's interaction, not his appearance/impression).

1. "almost bizarre quality about the general's face" is explicitly stated as Rainsford's second impression.
2. "his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night" is a physical detail Rainsford observes.
3. "His eyes, too, were black and very bright" is another observed physical trait from Rainsford's perspective.
4. "the face of an aristocrat" is part of Rainsford's description of Zaroff's face.

The last two options involve the giant, not Rainsford's impression of Zaroff himself, so they are excluded.

Answer:

• almost bizarre quality about the general's face
• his thick eyebrows and pointed military mustache were as black as the night
• His eyes, too, were black and very bright
• the face of an aristocrat
