Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game,” by richard connell.
"civilized? and you shoot down men? "
a trace of anger was in the general's black eyes, but it was there for but a second, and he said, in his most pleasant manner: "dear me, what a righteous young man you are! i assure you i do not do the thing you suggest. that would be barbarous. i treat these visitors with every consideration.
what conclusion can readers draw about the general based on a visualization of the excerpt?
the general is insulted.
the general is amused.
the general is nervous.
the general is apologetic.

The general is insulted.

The correct answer is the general is insulted. The narrator describes the general's black eyes as having "a trace of anger". The general also offers a rebuttal to Rainsford's comment about his barbaric behavior. Since he does not consider the behavior barbaric, but instead rather civilized, he sees Rainsford's comment as an insult. There is nothing to indicate that the other options are viable possibilities since the "trace of anger" cannot indicate him as amused, nervous, or apologetic.
