Explanation:

In the excerpt, the general seems interested in Rainsford participating in a hunt as he hints at a "promising prospect". Rainsford is not in a position to embrace the general's ideas and is likely to try to escape due to the threatening situation. There is no indication the general will retire from hunting or that Rainsford will embrace the general's ideas.

Answer:

• The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt.
• Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island.
