Question

Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."

"Even so, I rather think they understand one thing—fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death."

What does this line of dialogue reveal about Whitney’s character?

He greatly enjoys the thrill of the hunt.
He has compassion for the hunted animals.
He cares little for the animals he hunts.
He is giving up the sport of hunting.

Answer 1

the second one hope this helps

Answer 2

The correct answer is: He has compassion for the hunted animals.

The fact that the character Whitney recognizes that animals are capable of feeling fear just as humans are, demonstrates how Whitney emphatizes with animals, and makes this character more likely to show mercy to these creatures - unlike the majority of the hunters who practice this sport.
