read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game." "life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if needs be, taken by the strong. the weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. i am strong. why should i not use my gift? if i wish to hunt, why should i not? i hunt the scu-m of the earth—sailors from tramp ships—lascars, blacks, chinese, whites, mongrels—a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them." "but they are men," said rainsford hotly. this excerpt shows that unlike zaroff, rainsford has still retained his sense of
a. fairness
b. humanity
c. humor
d. entitlement.

B. Humanity.

Explanation:

Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous Game deals with the conflict of interest between the hunter and the hunted. The story also revolves around the theme of reason and instinct, and that of evil and good.

The given excerpt shows Colonel Zaroff exclaiming that he had the right to hunt if he like, "the sc um of the earth—sailors from tramp ships—lascars, blacks, Chinese, whites, mongrels". Even the way he addressed them shows how he really viewed them. He went on to call men worthless than "a thoroughbred horse or hound". This shows how he really feel about the other weaker men. In contrast, Ransford still believes that a man's life is worth more precious, claiming "they are [still] men". This shows his humane side, which Zaroff seems to have a different view of.
