Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell.

His foot touched the protruding bough that was the trigger. Even as he touched it, the general sensed his danger and leaped back with the agility of an ape. But he was not quite quick enough; the dead tree, delicately adjusted to rest on the cut living one, crashed down and struck the general a glancing blow on the shoulder as it fell; but for his alertness, he must have been smashed beneath it. He staggered, but he did not fall; nor did he drop his revolver. He stood there, rubbing his injured shoulder, and Rainsford, with fear again gripping his heart, heard the general's mocking laugh ring through the jungle.

Which analysis best explains the effect of adding the female character in the film adaptation of the scene?

She advances the plot. Having her run through the jungle moves the events of the story along.
She serves a practical function. Using her bracelet to create the trap makes it more realistic to the audience.
She raises the stakes. Giving the audience someone else to care about increases the suspense level.
She makes the film prettier. Having a beautiful female character is mostly decorative, creating a nice visual.
