List and describe the four "traps" that Rainsford uses to elude General Zaroff (don’t forget the mental trap in which Rainsford makes Zaroff thinks he killed himself by jumping off the cliff.)
Book: "The Most Dangerous Game"
Answer and explanation:
First, he makes a winding path through the jungle, so to make Zaroff think that he went deeply into the woods ( Zaroff finds him right away). Next one - he makes what is called Malay mancatcher - he runs into a fallen tree which lies on a smaller non-cut tree, he makes a trigger, so whoever touches the trigger, it pulls him down and larger, a dead tree falls onto him (Zaroff just hurt his shoulder in this one). The third one is called the Burmese tiger pit. As Rainsford gets caught up in quicksand, he gets the idea of making this one. He digs a hole near quicksand and on the bottom of it, he puts sharp sticks and then covers it with branches and grass to hide it, so if Zaroff steps onto it, he will fall down and get stabbed (Zaroff`s hunting hound gets killed in this one). The fourth one was a trick that he learned in Uganda, in this one he uses his knife which he ties to a sprout, he points the knife to a path, and then with a grapevine he manages to connect the sprout with the trigger, so if Zaroff reaches the trigger, it will pull the knife and stab him and in this case that was the servant Ivan. The fifth one is the one mentioned in the question where Rainsford tricks Zaroff that he is dead by jumping to the sea. The final one is in Zaroff`s bedroom. He thinks that Rainsford is dead, but he is hidden in the curtains and when Zaroff comes to the bedroom, he surprises him and eventually kills him. So, there are four traps mentioned in the question that Rainsford uses to elude Zaroff, but it seems that only two served Rainsford to get away, and four were intended to hurt or kill Zaroff.
I hope this will help.

What is the meaning of this excerpt?
Reread this excerpt from The Call of the Wild.
An oath from Perrault, the resounding impact of a club
upon a bony frame, and a shrill yelp of pain, heralded the
breaking forth of pandemonium. The camp was
suddenly discovered to be alive with skulking furry
forms,-starving huskies, four or five score of them,
who had scented the camp from some Indian village.
They had crept in while Buck and Spitz were fighting,
and when the two men sprang among them with stout
clubs they showed their teeth and fought back. They
were crazed by the smell of the food. Perrault found one
with head buried in the grub-box.
O Perrault is fighting stray dogs that have invaded the
campsite looking for food.
O Perrault is punishing members of his dogsled team

Explanation:
In the context of the poem, which image most fully reflects the speaker's dissapproval of the neighbors attitudes

Stars are thing that is being personified because they aren't human, they can't wink.
the book read itself to me
Books can't read or talk, so that's what's being personified in that line.
the tree whispered in the wind
Come on! Trees can't talk! The trees are what's being personified in this line.

Personification is describing an object that is not human by giving it human qualities.
Comparing is describing two object by using the words "like" or "as".
None of these lines consist of the words "like" or "as", so there is nothing being compared in this poem.

O quotations from military sources statistics from code breakers. surprising personal anecdotes. As a result of the cut cables, Germany lost its most secure long-distance communications system.

Which element of the romantic movement is present in this excerpt from the "The Solitary Reaper" by William Wordsworth? Will no one tell me what she sings?-- Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow For old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago: Or is it some more humble lay, Familiar matter of to-day? Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, That has been, and may be again? Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;-- I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.

In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas. Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall. The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas. As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization. In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents. The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas. Select a sentence from the body of this article that can be removed without affecting the author's explanation.
