Read the passage below from "a celebration of grandfathers" by rudolfo anaya and answer the question that follows.

real life takes into account the natural cycle of growth and change. my grandfather pointed to the leaves falling from the tree. so time brings with its transformation the often painful, wearing-down process. vision blurs, health wanes; even the act of walking carries with it the painful reminder of the autumn of life. but this process is something to be faced, not something to be hidden away by false images. yes, the old can be young at heart, but in their own way, with their own dignity. they do not have to copy the always-young image of the hollywood star.

what does the expression "the autumn of life" refer to?

" "swam," said rainsford. "i found it quicker than walking through the jungle." the general sucked in his breath and smiled. "i congratulate you," he said. "you have won the game." rainsford did not smile. "i am still a beast at bay," he said, in a low, hoarse voice. "get ready, general zaroff." the general made one of his deepest bows. "i see," he said. "splendid! one of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. the other will sleep in this very excellent bed. on guard, rainsford." . . he had never slept in a better bed, rainsford decided. adrian is writing an essay about "the most dangerous game.” which detail from the excerpt best supports his idea that rainsford is unchanged and still feels that the hunter is justified in killing the hunted? a man, who had been hiding in the curtains of the bed, was standing there.
