Question

The following passage (paragraphs 7-9) mainly shows that
"We should have some good hunting up the Amazon. Great sport, hunting."
"The best sport in the world," agreed Rainsford.
"For the hunter," amended Whitney. "Not for the jaguar.”
A. Rainsford and Whitney are bloodthirsty and do not care about other living things.
O B. Whitney does not like to hunt animals because he loves animals.
O C. Rainsford does not care about the animal's perspective in hunting.
O D. Rainsford does not approve of hunting because it is cruel to end an animal's life.

Answer 1

The Amazon rainforest, covering a lot of northwestern Brazil and stretching out into Colombia, Peru and other South American nations, is the world's largest tropical rainforest, famed for its biodiversity.

The best sport in the world, agreed Rainsford.

Correct answer is option A.

• Rainsford and Whitney are bloodthirsty and do not care about other living things.

Although there could be many interpretations of this selection, a potential one is that it communicates the theme of reason versus nature.

The dialogue  between the two characters makes this clear. While talking about the qualities of hunting, Rainsford argues that the way the jaguar encounters the game is irrelevant. This is because jaguars cannot reason.

Then again, Whitney accepts "reason" isn't the main thing that should be taken into account. Jaguars have impulse, which brings about sentiments like fear.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A.
