Question

read the excerpt from part 2 of the most dangerous game by richard connell. he slid down from the tree, and struck off again into the woods. his face was set and he forced the machinery of his mind to function. three hundred yards from his hiding - place he stopped where a huge dead tree leaned precariously on a smaller, living one. throwing off his sack of food, rainsford took his knife from its sheath and began to work with all his energy. the job was finished at last, and he threw himself down behind a fallen log a hundred feet away. he did not hope to lose his pursuer; he merely hoped to delay him. he thought that if the general was alone, he could probably manage to disarm him. if the general was accompanied by his quarry, he would have to attack him openly and so be crushed down by overwhelming forces. but perhaps he could lead the pursuer on a wild - goose chase, exhausting him to the point where he could be reached. in this scene in both the story and the film, rainsford is depicted as: angry, resourceful, bumbling, romantic.

Explanation:

Rainstord throws his knife, works hard to function after a machine - related incident, and shows determination. These actions suggest resourcefulness rather than being romantic, bumbling, or just angry.

Answer:

C. resourceful
