Excerpt from 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.
Which best describes the setting of this passage?
A)
a pleasure cruise yacht upon the sea
B)
the military barracks of a dictator's country
C)
the elaborate and baroque mansion of a millionaire
D)
a murky, wild, dangerous island with quicksand swamps
