Richard connet
The Most Dangerous Game
Richard Connell
When the general, nursing his bruised shoulder, had gone, Rainsford took up his flight again. It was flight now, a desperate,
hopeless flight, that carried him on for some hours. Dusk came, then darkness, and still he pressed on. The ground grew softer
under his moccasins; the vegetation grew ranker, denser; insects bit him savagely. Then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank
into the ooze. He tried to wrench it back, but the muck sucked viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech. With a violent
effort, he tore his foot loose. He knew where he was now. Death Swamp and its quicksand.
Why does the author use the figurative phrase 'as if it were a giant leech' to describe how the muck sucked at the character's foot?
es )
A)
To show that the mud feeds on blood and is actually alive.
B)
To give the reader a clue about what sort of animals might be living in
such a swamp
To compare the mud to a nasty, pain inducing creature in order to show its
sinister nature.
D)
None of these give a valid reason why the author would use a comparison
to a leech to describe the muck.
