2. Read through the following passage from "Most Dangerous Game," then thoroughly answer this question in the box: Describe Rainsford's character. Cite evidence in your
response
Ten minutes of determined effort brought another sound to his
ears--the most welcome he had ever heard--the muttering and growling of
the sea breaking on a rocky shore. He was almost on the rocks before he
saw them; on a night less calm he would have been shattered against them.
With his remaining strength, he dragged himself from the swirling waters.
Jagged crags appeared to jut up into the opaqueness; he forced himself
upward, hand over hand. Gasping, his hands raw, he reached a flat place at
the top. Dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs. What perils
that tangle of trees and underbrush might hold for him did not concern
Rainsford just then. All he knew was that he was safe from his enemy, the
sea and that utter weariness was on him. He flung himself down at the
jungle edge and tumbled headlong into the deepest sleep of his life.

What caused the american civil war? there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense. one of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. this tax was called a tariff. southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most northern people. taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. an awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the north. the situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. which sentence from the selection states a major detail that supports the main idea? a there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. b taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. c the situation grew worse after several "panics," including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. d this tax was called a tariff. e between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense.
