Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game,” by richard connell. "didn't you notice that the crew's nerves seemed a bit jumpy today? " "they were a bit strange, now you mention it. even captain nielsen—" "yes, even that tough-minded old swede, who'd go up to the devil himself and ask him for a light. those fishy blue eyes held a look i never saw there before. all i could get out of him was: 'this place has an evil name among sea-faring men, sir.' then he said to me, very gravely: 'don't you feel anything? '—as if the air about us was actually poisonous. now, you mustn't laugh when i tell you this—i did feel something like a sudden chill. "there was no breeze. the sea was as flat as a plate-glass window. we were drawing near the island then. what i felt was a—a mental chill; a sort of sudden dread." "pure imagination," said rainsford. "one superstitious sailor can taint the whole ship's company with his fear." which phrase from the excerpt supports the claim that there is something sinister about the island? a.“those fishy blue eyes” b“a sort of sudden dread” c“pure imagination” d“one superstitious sailor”

The phrase from the excerpt that supports the claim that there is something sinister about the island is “a sort of sudden dread” (Option B).

The meaning of dread is feeling great fear. So, if you dread something, it is because you are very afraid of it. In this case, the speaker says that all of the sudden he felt scared and this feeling coincided with them being near the island.

The other options do not really have words that relate to fear to make readers think the island is sinister in any way.

The answer is B

Explanation:

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.

the words "slavery," "devils," and "murderer" evoke a sense of disgust.
