Question

20 points and the brainliest for the FIRST answer

"A twenty-two," [Rainsford] remarked. "That's odd. It must have been a fairly large animal too. The hunter had his nerve with him to tackle it with a light gun. It's clear that the brute put up a fight. I suppose the first three shots I heard was when the hunter flushed his quarry and wounded it. The last shot was when he trailed it here and finished it."

He examined the ground closely and found what he had hoped to find – the print of hunting boots. They pointed along the cliff in the direction he had been going. Eagerly he hurried along, now slipping on a rotten log or a loose stone, but making headway; night was beginning to settle down on the island.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. A. He knows a lot about hunting
2. B ."had his nerve"
3. A. He thinks he will be safe with the hunter
4. C. "eagerly"

Explanation:

We can see that Rainsford knows a lot about hunting because he can predict what the hunter and the animal did during the hunt, without having witnessed that moment. In addition, he is shown to have full knowledge of weapons and weapons suitable for hunting.

In these predictions, Rainsford realizes that the animal should be quite large and ferocious and that is why he believes that the hunter had a lot of courage and daring to face him. He uses the word "nerve" to highlight this.

Since the hunter is brave and, apparently, a good fighter Rainsford believes he is safe with him in that environment, so he is motivated to find that hunter.

Rainsford is so excited to find this hunter that the narrator uses the word "eagerly" to intensify the urgency that Rainsford is feeling.
