Question

Which textual evidence from "The Interlopers" supports the conclusion that hatred eventually takes its own revenge?



1 "An idea was slowly forming and growing in his brain, an idea that gained strength every time that he looked across at the man who was fighting so grimly against pain and exhaustion."



2 "'Who are they?' asked Georg quickly, straining his eyes to see what the other would gladly not have seen. 'Wolves.'"



3 "Relief at being alive and exasperation at his captive plight brought a strange medley of pious thank-offerings and sharp curses to Ulrich's lips."



4 "If only on this wild night, in this dark, lone spot, he might come across Georg Znaeym, man to man, with none to witness—that was the wish that was uppermost in his thoughts."

Answer 1

Answer:

2 "'Who are they?' asked Georg quickly, straining his eyes to see what the other would gladly not have seen. 'Wolves.'"

Explanation:

Option 2 is the correct answer because it is a textual evidence from "The Interlopers" that concludes that hatred eventually takes its own revenge.

"The Interlopers" is a story written by British writer, Hector Hugh Munro (pen name: Saki)

The story tells of two characters, Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym, who were enemies from birth. They were not in good terms.

But a time came when they became grown men, they were determined to end their feud but found themselves in a life-or-death situation. Their reconciliation seem to come late.
