"A twenty-two," [Rainsford] remarked. "That's odd. It must have been a fairly large animal too. The hunter had his nerve with him to tackle it with a light gun. It's clear that the brute put up a fight. I suppose the first three shots I heard was when the hunter flushed his quarry and wounded it. The last shot was when he trailed it here and finished it." He examined the ground closely and found what he had hoped to find – the print of hunting boots. They pointed along the cliff in the direction he had been going. Eagerly he hurried along, now slipping on a rotten log or a loose stone, but making headway; night was beginning to settle down on the island. —"The Most Dangerous Game," Richard Connell What can be concluded about Rainsford from his dialogue?

Explanation:

The excerpt we are studying here was taken from Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game". Rainsford, the main character, is a famous experienced hunter who accidentally falls off a yatch, ending up on General Zaroff's island.

Even if we did not know Rainsford is a hunter, we would be able to tell he knows a lot about hunting after reading the passage. From the signs and tracks he sees and the sounds he hears, he knows what kind of weapon was used, how large the animal was, if there was a struggle on the animal's part and so on. That is why number 1 should be answered with A. He knows a lot about hunting.

Also, when Rainsford says "[t]he hunter had his nerve with him," he is complimenting the unknown hunter's courage to follow the animal. That is why number 2 should be answered with B ."had his nerve".

Numbers 3 and 4 are based on the same line: "Eagerly he hurried along." Why is Rainsford eager to meet the hunter? Because he will feel safer. So far, he does not know that Zaroff is hunting other men; Rainsford still thinks there are large animals on the loose on the island. He would rather find the hunter than the animals. So, numbers 3 and 4 should be answered with A. He thinks he will be safe with the hunter  and C. "eagerly", respectively.
