List and describe the four "traps" that Rainsford uses to elude General Zaroff (don’t forget the mental trap in which Rainsford makes Zaroff thinks he killed himself by jumping off the cliff.)
Book: "The Most Dangerous Game"
Answer and explanation:
First, he makes a winding path through the jungle, so to make Zaroff think that he went deeply into the woods ( Zaroff finds him right away). Next one - he makes what is called Malay mancatcher - he runs into a fallen tree which lies on a smaller non-cut tree, he makes a trigger, so whoever touches the trigger, it pulls him down and larger, a dead tree falls onto him (Zaroff just hurt his shoulder in this one). The third one is called the Burmese tiger pit. As Rainsford gets caught up in quicksand, he gets the idea of making this one. He digs a hole near quicksand and on the bottom of it, he puts sharp sticks and then covers it with branches and grass to hide it, so if Zaroff steps onto it, he will fall down and get stabbed (Zaroff`s hunting hound gets killed in this one). The fourth one was a trick that he learned in Uganda, in this one he uses his knife which he ties to a sprout, he points the knife to a path, and then with a grapevine he manages to connect the sprout with the trigger, so if Zaroff reaches the trigger, it will pull the knife and stab him and in this case that was the servant Ivan. The fifth one is the one mentioned in the question where Rainsford tricks Zaroff that he is dead by jumping to the sea. The final one is in Zaroff`s bedroom. He thinks that Rainsford is dead, but he is hidden in the curtains and when Zaroff comes to the bedroom, he surprises him and eventually kills him. So, there are four traps mentioned in the question that Rainsford uses to elude Zaroff, but it seems that only two served Rainsford to get away, and four were intended to hurt or kill Zaroff.

I god, they sho don't think none theirselves." "Ah knows uh few things, and womenfolks thinks sometimes too!" "Aw naw they don't. They just think they's thinkin'. When Ah see one thing Ah understands ten. You see ten things and don't understand one."(Hurston 71)

McCarthy quotes Stalin and Lenin… to convince communist sympathizers to join his cause against communism. to point out how communist leaders promise a good deal but rarely follow through. to support his argument that communism has already infiltrated most of Europe. to support his claims that communist and non-communist states cannot exist in peace.
Answer:
to support his claims that communist and non-communist states cannot exist in peace
Explanation:
McCarthy claimed that communism's greatest flaw was that its only religion was immorality (or Immoralism as he called it). He quoted Stalin to emphasize the fact that communism repudiates Christianity and that communist values oppose Christian values. Communists cannot live in peace with Christians and will not accept Christian democracy, and they will fight against them to impose their communist doctrine.
He also claimed that the greatest threat to America wouldn't come from actions of communists abroad, instead, it would come from traitors within the nation.

The story of one man's survival on a desert island after a shipwreck is told in the book. The book was presented to the public as a factual account of true events, recorded by a real man named Crusoe, and published in 1719 without Defoe's name. But readers instantly expressed doubt.
Robinson Crusoe, the book's renowned titular character, gets marooned on an island off the northeastern coast of South America. Crusoe had set out to sea as a young man in an effort to make his fortune. Crusoe is the sole survivor of a shipwreck on an island as it is headed for Africa, where he intends to purchase slaves for his plantations in South America.

13. Which type of plot does The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien have? O The Rebirth
OVoyage and Return
O Overcoming the Monster
O The Quest
Answer:
The Quest
Explanation:
The Rebirth – this is not the right answer. While The Lord of the Rings includes the rebirth of Gandalf in one moment, it’s not the main plot of the series.
Voyage and Return – this is not the correct answer. There is a narrative of the voyage in the story. Still, this is only as part of the quest, and the return is not the central part of the plot.
Overcoming the Monster – this is not the right answer. Slaying the monster is not the most important task of the fellowship, nor the most important plot point.
The Quest – this is the right answer. The fellowship has a quest to fulfill. This quest is destroying the ring by throwing it into the Mordor. The other points in the plot (including the rebirth, voyage, and slaying the various monsters) are all just side plots to the main thing that is the point of the whole series, which is the quest.
a(n) _____ is a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning
a) claim
b) inference
c) counterargument
Answer:
b) inference
Explanation:
A claim is a statement and explains something you think is right.
A counterargument is another person's perspective; it mostly makes them argue against you because they have another point of view.
An inference, aka the right answer, is mainly an educated guess that you make about something based on evidence, observations, and reasoning.
Hope this helped!!!! Have a great day :3
We can complete the statement as "An inferences a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning"
How to complete the statement?An inference is a conclusion reached based on evidence and reasoning. When making an inference, one uses available information, observations, or evidence to draw a logical conclusion that is not explicitly stated. Inferences involve connecting the dots and making educated guesses or interpretations based on the available information.
On the other hand:
a) A claim refers to a statement or assertion that requires evidence or support to be considered valid.
c) A counterargument is a contrasting viewpoint or argument presented to challenge or rebut an existing argument or claim.
Therefore, the best answer to the question is b) inference, as it accurately represents the process of drawing conclusions based on evidence and reasoning.
