Read the excerpt from part 2 of “the most dangerous game” by richard connell. what is the most likely reason the film adaptation changes this scene so that general zaroff shoots arrows at rainsford and his companion?

To add a visual that creates suspense.

Explanation:

The most likely reason why the director decided to change this scene was in order to add a visual that creates suspense. Having General Zaroff shoot arrows at Rainsford and his companion is a more compelling visual, as opposed to the subtle actions described in the text. Moreover, this would be more likely to excite and worry the audience.
