How does Rainsford's opinion on animals change throughout the story?
A At first, Rainsford believes only humans can feel, but by the end, he
agrees with Whitney that animals can also feel "fear of pain" (
Paragraph 13).
B At first, Rainsford thinks that there is only one rational animal,
humans, but then he discovers the new animal that Zaroff has
"invented" ( Paragraph 100).
C At first, Rainsford believes humans are smarter than animals, but then
he sees that some humans are actually "a very inferior lot" ()
Paragraph 131).
D At first, Rainsford sees animals only as prizes for human hunters, but
later Rainsford sympathizes with the animal "at bay" when he too
becomes the hunted ( Paragraph 204).
