b) both whitney and rainsford are given pause when they consider what it must be like to be hunted rather than to be the hunter.

d) rainsford is indifferent to the feelings of those who are hunted, while whitney can at least consider what it is like to be hunted instead of being the hunter.

Letter D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The question refers to The Most Dangerous Game, a short story written by American author Richard Connell. The story narrates how a hunter falls from a ship and swims to an island in the Caribbean where a Russian aristocrat hunts him.

Due to different characterizations and descriptions of the characters, it is possible to deduct that Rainsford is indifferent to the feelings of those who are hunted, while Whitney can at least consider what it is like to be hunted instead of being the hunter. Due to this, letter D is the correct answer.
