"i wanted the ideal animal to hunt," explained the general. "so i said: 'what are the attributes of an ideal quarry? ' and the answer was, of course, 'it must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason.'" "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? " "i can't believe you are serious, general zaroff. this is a grisly joke." "why should i not be serious? i am speaking of hunting." "hunting? general zaroff, what you speak of is murder." rainsford’s response to zaroff indicates that he is opposed to the idea of hunting humans. he does not understand that zaroff is hunting humans. he will soon be joining zaroff in the hunt for humans. he thinks zaroff has the right to hunt humans. mark this and return

Rainsford’s response to Zaroff indicates that he is opposed to the idea of hunting humans.

In the first few lines of the paragraph, it is clear that Rainsford does not understand what Zaroff refers to when he talks about an animal that reasons. However, it becomes clear later on that what he means is humans. Rainsford understands this eventually. However, he tells Zaroff that what he means is not hunting, but murder. The negative connotation of the word "murder," as opposed to the less negative one of "hunting" shows that Rainsford believes this action to be wrong. Therefore, we can conclude that Rainsford believes that the idea of hunting humans is wrong.
