Exposes a personal limitation on Rainsford’s part

a and b
a and c
The conclusion to the story is an example of:
irony
coincidence
symbolism
suspense
none of the above
The fact that Rainsford ends up the “hunted&edquo; on the island is:
humorous
ironic
symbolic
a and b
b and c
This is one of my favorite stories. I'll be glad to check your answers.
1. I agree with A.
2. I like suspense.
3. I also think it's ironic.
For the second answer the website I submitted the answers said it was wrong. I don't know what else it could be?
“I’ve read your book about hunting snow leopards in Tibet, you see...I am General Zaroff.” When General Zaroff says this to Rainsford, it is most closely an example of:
suspense
characterization
irony
coincidence
conflict
I initially put coincidence but it said it was wrong. I can't put my finger on what the answer could be.
What types of conflict arise in this story?
man vs. man
man vs. nature
man vs. himself
all of the above
a and c
I know it's a and c but could it also be man vs. nature since he is trying to use the forest as a source of escape from the general.
The dilemmas faced by the protagonist in this story advance the plot by:
creating suspense
utilizing coincidence
evoking humor
all of the above
a and b
a and b?
How about characterization?
The overwhelming conflict is man vs. man.
I like A for your last question.
Ms. Sue may be busy elsewhere. I, too, know this story. For the second question in your first set of questions, Ms. Sue has suggested irony. I agree. The hunter of snow leopards is about to become the prey. On your second set of two questions, I disagree with you on the first. It is "a", man vs. man. It's also man vs. nature in the forest. I disagree with man vs. himself. I think you are right on the second, "a" and "b".
What is ironic about the conversation Rainsford and General Zaroff have after dinner?
Rainsford doesn’t want to hunt.
Rainsford reflects Whitney’s position from their earlier conversation on the yacht.
General Zaroff has new game.
Rainsford and Zaroff differ on their opinion of the Cape buffalo.
none of the above
I got this one wrong by saying A. Is it B?
Ah, Mms. Sue has spoken. :) She's probably right. It certainly is "a". There are a few coincidences that Rainsford takes advantage of in the forest, so it could also be "b".
I put A for that last one but it was wrong so I am thinking a and b. I need help on the question above though I keep failing this quiz!
I just have to say bob was wrong I got 3/5 wrong im so mad bro..>:{
1. I got A and I didn't know if Whitney was a protagonist even if he didn't do anything but foreshadow.
2. I got none of the above but I initially thought it was irony that he killed the hunter after he was talking about how bad murder was. I am still not sure.
3. Last one I said was ironic
Thank you for checking my question!
