Which excerpt from "the most dangerous game" best portrays zaroff as rainsford’s foil? "but no animal can reason," objected rainsford. "my dear fellow," said the general, "there is one that can." "but you can't mean—" gasped rainsford. "and why not? " "why should i not be serious? i am speaking of hunting." "hunting? general zaroff, what you speak of is murder.” "and if they win? " the smile on the general's face widened. "to date i have not lost," he said.

"Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting." "Hunting? General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder."

Explanation:

This shows the intelligence and wisdom of Rainsford. Rainsford shows that his moral principles decline him of hunting humans - which he considers immoral and insane.

The answer is indeed "And why not?" "Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting." "Hunting? General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder.”

Explanation:

In a story or a play, a character's foil is someone who makes their good or bad qualities more noticeable. That is, the character who presents the opposite personality is the first one's foil. In the short story by Richard Connell, "The Most Dangerous Game", Rainsford and General Zaroff are both hunters. However, they present very different qualities. While Zaroff thinks everything is allowed in hunting - even killing other men -, Rainsford has his principles and disagrees with the general. The excerpt that best shows their difference of opinions and, consequently, of values is:

"And why not?" "Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting." "Hunting? General Zaroff, what you speak of is murder.”

Zaroff is thus highlighting Rainsford's capacity for empathy and for distinguishing right from wrong.
