Question

read the excerpt from \the most dangerous game.\
laughter shook the general. \how extraordinarily droll you are,\ he said. \one does not expect nowadays to find a young man of the educated class, even in america, with such a naive, and, if i may say so, mid-victorian point of view. its like finding a snuff-box in a limousine. ah, well, doubtless you had puritan ancestors. so many americans appear to have had. i wager youll forget your notions when you go hunting with me. youve a genuine new thrill in store for you, mr. rainsford.\
\thank you, im a hunter, not a murderer.\
\dear me,\ said the general, quite unruffled, \again that unpleasant word. but i think i can show you that your scruples are quite ill founded.\
which detail best reveals that rainsford opposes
zaroffs idea of the ideal prey?

Explanation:

The question asks for the detail that shows Rainsford opposes Zaroff's idea of ideal prey (hunting humans). Option A is Zaroff praising Rainsford, not opposition. Option B is Zaroff offering a hunt, not Rainsford's opposition. Option C has Rainsford explicitly distinguishing himself as a "hunter, not a murderer," directly rejecting Zaroff's practice of hunting people. Option D is Zaroff dismissing Rainsford's concerns, not Rainsford's opposition.

Answer:

C. "Thank you, I'm a hunter, not a murderer."
