1. Civilized.

Explanation:

Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game" tells the story of a hunter and the hunted theme. The protagonist of the story Sanger Rainsford was an acclaimed hunter, bound for another hunting expedition. But as fate would have it, he ended up being the prey/ hunted in the island owned by General Zaroff.

Based on the excerpt, when the General offered all sorts of "civilized" items to him, he is trying to show that even though residing in the middle of nowhere, he still has the means of living or maintaining a civilized life. The 'cocktail, utensils, crystal, and the menu' are all indicative of his efforts o maintain a civilized living, in that island. The very statement by Zaroff  "We do our best to preserve the amenities of civilization here" is proof of his efforts to live a civilized life.
