Read the passage below from "The Most Dangerous Game" and answer the question. They would be on him any minute now. His mind worked franticarly. He thought of a native trick he had
learned in Uganda. He slid down the tree. He caught hold of a springy young sapling and to it he fastened his
hunting knife, with the blade pointing down the trail; with a bit of wild grapevine he tied back the sapling.
Then he ran for his life. The hounds raised their voices as they hit the fresh scent. Rainsford knew now how
an animal at bay feels.
He had to stop to get his breath. The baying of the hounds stopped abruptly, and Rainsford's heart stopped,
too. They must have reached the knife.
Based on the passage above, which of the following themes is evident in the story?
fear and self-preservation
self-sacrifice
good overcomes evil
value of hard work
