Making Predictions and Visualizing with “The Most Dangerous Game,” Part 2 — Quiz

Question 5 • CMS 2025-2026 English I CREDIT RECOVERY

Read the excerpt from Part 2 of "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell. Following the trail with the sureness of a bloodhound came General Zaroff. Nothing escaped those searching black eyes, no crushed blade of grass, no bent twig, no mark, no matter how faint, in the moss. So intent was the Cossack on his stalking that he was upon the thing Rainsford had made before he saw it. His foot touched the protruding bough that was the trigger. Even as he touched it, the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape. But he was not quite quick enough; the dead tree, delicately adjusted to rest on the cut living one, crashed down and struck the general a glancing blow on the shoulder as it fell; but for his alertness, he must have been smashed beneath it. What is the most likely reason the film adaptation changes this scene so that General Zaroff shoots arrows at Rainsford and his companion?
