In “the most dangerous game,” rainsford must face not only zaroff, but he must confront his own assumptions about life. rainsford finds himself engaged in an internal as he comes to terms with the ideas earlier raised by whitney—that the world is not made of hunters and the hunted. these distinct lines that rainsford had created for himself begin to blur. as rainsford scuttles like an animal through the dense jungle, closely pursued by his hunter, he also realizes that fear and pain are not exclusively felt by humans.
which literary term best fills in the blank?

Conflict.

Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt, we can see the description of how Rainsford must face an internal conflict because he must confront his own assumptions about life, for example he starts to doubt that the world is not made of hunters and the hunted.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
