Read the excerpts from Alice Gerstenbergs’s play, Fourteen, and “The Dinner Party”, which show an event in the story differently. Which statement describes the difference between Gerstenberg’s play and the short story?


From Fourteen:


MRS. PRINGLE: . . . There’s the front doorbell, Dunham . . . go, peek into the drawing-room and tell me who it is — [As DUNHAM goes out, the telephone rings. MRS. PRINGLE eyes it suspiciously.] . . . Now what? Hello! Who! Mr. Farnsworth! Mr. Oliver Farnsworth? No . . . He’s what? Instructed you to make his excuses! He had to leave for Boston at once on very important business — Oh! [She hangs up the receiver without completing the conversation and hits the telephone in a temper, then rises and paces back and forth in a rage.] How dare he! How dare he! The last moment like this! No regard for a hostess’s feelings! No regard for the efforts she goes to provide an evening’s enjoyment! And such a good dinner I planned — and he promised he would come — business! I don’t believe it! He didn’t want to exert himself — was afraid of freezing in the blizzard — as if he didn’t have half a dozen limousines to carry him to the door — selfishness — downright rudeness — and worth millions — just a match for you, Elaine — and I was bound you should meet him and sit next to him at the table [she tears up his card], and now I don’t know when I can give you a chance like that again! I’m perfectly furious — I’ll never speak to him again! I won’t be treated that way —


From “The Dinner Party”:


While Dunham went to answer the door, Mrs. Pringle snatched the receiver up to her ear. It was the secretary for Oliver Farnworth. Before the poor man could explain their cancelation, Mrs. Pringle hung up and flew into a rage. “HOW DARE HE!” she roared. “At the last moment! So inconsiderate of him! Everything’s ruined now! I will not be treated this way by anyone!” Then she turned on Elaine. “And how will I ever find a suitor for you now?”
A.
The short story focuses on more significant insights into why Mrs. Pringle is upset than the play.
B.
The wording and the length of the dialogue in the play paints a more vivid picture of Mrs. Pringle’s feelings than the text of the short story.
C.
The play tells more about what Dunham did when Mrs. Pringle got bad news than the short story.
D.
The short story includes details about Oliver Farnsworth’s reasons for canceling that the play does not.

Please read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell and answer the questions that follow.

1 An apprehensive night crawled slowly by like a wounded snake and sleep did not visit Rainsford, although the silence of a dead world was on the jungle. Toward morning when a dingy gray was varnishing the sky, the cry of some startled bird focused Rainsford's attention in that direction. Something was coming through the bush, coming slowly, carefully, coming by the same winding way Rainsford had come. He flattened himself down on the limb and, through a screen of leaves almost as thick as tapestry, he watched. . . . That which was approaching was a man.

2 It was General Zaroff. He made his way along with his eyes fixed in utmost concentration on the ground before him. He paused, almost beneath the tree, dropped to his knees and studied the ground. Rainsford's impulse was to hurl himself down like a panther, but he saw that the general's right hand held something metallic--a small automatic pistol.

3 The hunter shook his head several times, as if he were puzzled. Then he straightened up and took from his case one of his black cigarettes; its pungent incenselike smoke floated up to Rainsford's nostrils.

4 Rainsford held his breath. The general's eyes had left the ground and were traveling inch by inch up the tree. Rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed for a spring. But the sharp eyes of the hunter stopped before they reached the limb where Rainsford lay; a smile spread over his brown face. Very deliberately he blew a smoke ring into the air; then he turned his back on the tree and walked carelessly away, back along the trail he had come. The swish of the underbrush against his hunting boots grew fainter and fainter.

5 The pent-up air burst hotly from Rainsford's lungs. His first thought made him feel sick and numb. The general could follow a trail through the woods at night; he could follow an extremely difficult trail; he must have uncanny powers; only by the merest chance had the Cossack failed to see his quarry.

6 Rainsford's second thought was even more terrible. It sent a shudder of cold horror through his whole being. Why had the general smiled? Why had he turned back?

7 Rainsford did not want to believe what his reason told him was true, but the truth was as evident as the sun that had by now pushed through the morning mists. The general was playing with him! The general was saving him for another day's sport! The Cossack was the cat; he was the mouse. Then it was that Rainsford knew the full meaning of terror.

When Mike adjusted his bicycle, I thought I was watching a chess game. He would stare at a part for a while before he acted. Then we would wait for his opponent's response. For example, he stared for ten minutes before tightening the rear sprockets. Then he rode the bike for a minute, analyzing the change in the bike's performance. At first, I thought he was too careful. Now, I realize he didn't want the bicycle to become his Waterloo.
