A teacher instructs students to write an argumentative essay about "The Most Dangerous Game.” Read the claim and reason one student writes and then answer the question. Claim: Rainsford needs to learn sensitivity for other beings. Reason: He is conceited and considers himself superior than others. Which quote from the story is the best evidence to support the student’s reason? “We should have some good hunting up the Amazon. Great sport, hunting." “The world is made up of two classes—the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are the hunters.” "Pure imagination," said Rainsford. "One superstitious sailor can taint the whole ship's company with his fear." "It's so dark," he thought, "that I could sleep without closing my eyes; the night would be my eyelids—"

Note the two classes. Obviously the hunters are more superior than the prey (huntees). He also states that they are the hunters, which means he is showing himself more superior than others.

hope this helps

Answer:

“The world is made up of two classes—the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are the hunters.”

Explanation:

This is the quote that best supports the student's claim. The student tells us that Rainsford considers himself superior to other beings and that he lacks sensitivity. This is proven when we read the quote. Rainsford sees the world as made up of two classes of beings, and he does not see a problem with one of this classes (the hunters) dominating, abusing and killing the other class (the huntees). This shows he considers himself superior to other beings.
