Question

I hope," said Rainsford, "that you will excuse me tonight, General Zaroff. I'm really not feeling well."

"Ah, indeed?" the general inquired solicitously. "Well, I suppose that's only natural, after your long swim. You need a good, restful night's sleep. Tomorrow you'll feel like a new man, I'll wager. Then we'll hunt, eh? I've one rather promising prospect –" Rainsford was hurrying from the room.

What is a prediction?

A prediction is a term that refers to the action of announcing a fact that is going to happen by means of revelation, science or conjecture.

According to this definition, we can affirm that the fragment allows us to know several facts that will continue that story, knowing the dialogue between the characters. From this conversation it can be inferred that:

• B. General Zaroff will go hunting.
• C.Rainsford will hunt with General Zaroff.
• D. Rainsford will try to leave the island.

These three statements are the ones that are related to ideas expressed by the characters in the fragment because Rainsford accepts the proposal to go hunting the next day with General Zaroff, that is to say that both are going to go hunting.

Additionally, when they go hunting Rainsford will have to leave the island, so it can be predicted that he will try to leave the island to go hunting.
