Why didn't Phillip want to go to the island in the Cay?* A. He was afraid of who or what might be living there.

B. He didn't think they would be visible there.

C. He enjoyed the open seas.

D. He didn't trust Timothy.

Explanation:

The island that Timothy and Phillip spend most of the novel stranded on is a small, unnamed cay in an area of the Caribbean known as the "Devil's Mouth." Timothy knows about where they are, and he informs Phillip that their island is likely not in line with any widely used shipping lanes. This will make the possibility of rescue remote. That's unfortunate in and of itself, but the island isn't exactly a lush paradise booming with enough resources to make life easier. The cay is small. It is about a mile long and a half mile wide with beautiful sandy beaches. The island is also littered with palm trees which Phillip is at first terrified to climb in order to get the coconuts. Fortunately, food is somewhat plentiful in the form of sea life; however, the absence of a fresh water source really puts some constraints on Phillip and Timothy.
