In richard connell’s short story “the most dangerous game,” does zaroff give a fair chance to his human opponents in his hunting game?
no, his opponents get only a hunting knife, whereas zaroff has a pistol.
no, zaroff is familiar with every inch of the island, unlike his opponents.
yes, his opponents get a head start of three hours against zaroff.
yes, zaroff provides his opponents with all that they need to escape him.
yes, zaroff gets ivan and his dogs to his opponents hide.

There are two correct options:

A) No, his opponents get only a hunting knife, whereas Zaroff has a pistol.

B) No, Zaroff is familiar with every inch of the island, unlike his opponents.

Explanation:

In the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connel, General Zaroff is a hunter who lives wealthily in an island. After growing bored of hunting animals, he decides to hunt other men.

Zaroff gives them food and exercise until he thinks they are ready for the chase. He gives them a head start, that is true, but that does not make the game fair. His opponents are only given a hunting knife to fend for themselves, while Zaroff himself carries a pistol. That would already diminish his opponents' chances by much, but there is also the fact that Zaroff knows the island very well. He evens warns another character, Rainsford, about the quicksand swamp to the southeast that swallowed one of his preys. All things considered, Zaroff could actually be seen as a coward, since he only hunts those who have quite an inferior chance to win over him.

the boy's acceleration toward the girl is 2.08 m/s^2.

explanation:

according the newton's third law, the force causing the girl accelerate towards the boy will be me with equal counter-force causing the boy to accelerate towards the girl. these forces will be of equal magnitude and allows us to determine the boy's acceleration:

the boy's acceleration toward the girl is 2.08 m/s^2.
