Select the correct answer.
read this excerpt from "the most dangerous game" by richard connell.
the general's eyes had left the ground and were traveling inch by inch up the tree.
rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed for a spring. but the sharp eyes of the hunter stopped before they reached the limb where rainsford lay; a smile spread over his brown face. very deliberately he blew a smoke ring into the air; then he turned his back on the tree and walked carelessly away, back along the trail he had come. the swish of the underbrush against his hunting boots grew fainter and fainter.

a.
he figured out that rainsford was atop the tree.
b.
he recognized that rainsford would not be easy to catch.
c.
he realized it was too late at night to continue hunting in the jungle.
d.
he understood that rainsford was an expert hunter, perhaps better than himself.
e.
he knew rainsford would come back to the chateau later that night.

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
