Elva is writing an essay about "The Most Dangerous Game." Which excerpt from the story best supports her idea that Rainsford and Zaroff have some common ideas?A. "Hunting tigers ceased to interest me some years ago. I exhausted their possibilities, you see. No thrill left in tigers, no real danger."B. "You will be amused, I know. I think I may say, in all modesty, that I have done a rare thing. I have invented a new sensation. "C. "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."D. "Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong."

Both Zaroff and Rainsford are very skilled hunters in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game", by Richard Connell. As hunters, they do have an idea in common. Both believe that, in this world, some are strong, some are weak, some are the hunters, others are the game. Belonging to any of those categories is a matter of luck, and they, Rainsford and Zaroff, are the lucky ones. Zaroff expresses that thought in letter D. "Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong." Rainsford expresses the same opinion at the beginning of the story while talking to a friend, "The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters."

On the other hand, options A, B, and C show the points in which Zaroff and Rainsford diverge. Zaroff believes it is acceptable to hunt and kill other human beings. They are more intelligent, which makes them more fun to hunt than regular animals. Rainsford, however, does not agree. He sees Zaroff as a murderer. He ends up becoming a prey, being hunted by Zaroff.
