In richard connell's short story "the most dangerous game," the main character, sanger rainsford, is a former war hero. which sentence from this excerpt hints at his time serving in the war?
he had not been entirely clearheaded when the chateau gates snapped shut behind him. his whole idea at first was to put distance between himself and general zaroff; and, to this end, he had plunged along, spurred on by the sharp rowers of something very like panic. now he had got a grip on himself, had stopped, and was taking stock of himself and the situation. he saw that straight flight was futile; inevitably it would bring him face to face with the sea. he was in a picture with a frame of water, and his operations, clearly, must take place within that frame.
…
rainsford had dug himself in in france when a second's delay meant death. that had been a placid pastime compared to his digging now. the pit grew deeper; when it was above his shoulders, he climbed out and from some hard saplings cut stakes and sharpened them to a fine point. these stakes he planted in the bottom of the pit with the points sticking up. with flying fingers he wove a rough carpet of weeds and branches and with it he covered the mouth of the pit. then, wet with sweat and aching with tiredness, he crouched behind the stump of a lightning-charred tree.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the rhyme scheme of "an open boat" is abcb abab abba aabc
