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 help his opponents hide.
Answer:
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.

You—you—
Your shadow is sunlight on a plate of silver;
Your footsteps, the seeding-place of lilies;
Your hands moving, a chime of bells across a windless air.
The movement of your hands is the long, golden running of light from a rising sun;
It is the hopping of birds upon a garden-path.
Answer:
"Your shadow is sunlight on a plate of silver;" is an example of a metaphor. The metaphor helps to convey the meaning of the poem by explaining that her shadow is sunlight, which helps to show the meaning of the poem, the admiration of the individual. "The movement of your hands is the long, golden running of light from a rising sun"; this quote would be an example of hyperbole. A hyperbole is a literary device that features an extreme exaggeration that isn’t meant to be taken literally. The author mentions her hands being the long, golden running light from the rising sun; she's exaggerating the length of the movement of her hands. This also contributes to the meaning of the poem, because the admiration is exaggerated by the author. Another figurative language would be personification. An example of it would be "the movement of your hands; it is the hopping of birds upon a garden-path". This quote would be an example of personification because hands can't literally hop like birds.

Answer: The statement is true. The focus of the stream-of-consciousness novel is the mind.
Explanation:A novel that resorts to the stream-of-consciousness technique focuses on depicting what is going on in the mind of a character, that is to say it focuses on representing the different emotions and thoughts that pass through the mind of a character. Furthermore, a writer that uses the stream-of-consciousness device generally shows a narrator's thoughts in an interior monologue. Virginia Woolf and James Joyce are some of the famous authors that resorted to the stream-of-consciousness technique.
