The Cay Chapters 5-6

Timothy warned Phillip to always be careful of sharks. Sharks are known to be dangerous and can pose a threat to swimmers or divers. They are powerful predators with sharp teeth and can cause serious injuries or even fatalities. Being cautious around sharks is important to ensure personal safety while in the water.

Timothy said that the cat was bad luck.

Timothy saw a small island about 2 miles away.

Phillip was able to "see" because Timothy, who was blind, described to him what he saw. Since Phillip was unable to see due to his eyelids being closed, Timothy acted as his eyes and provided him with visual information. This allowed Phillip to have a sense of sight, even though he couldn't physically see.

Timothy and Phillip heard the motor of an airplane. This suggests that they were in a location where airplanes were present or flying overhead. The other options, such as the splashing of a whale, the motor of a boat, and the chatter of a group of sea gulls, are not mentioned in the question and therefore cannot be considered as the correct answer.

The given answer "sea grape and palm trees" suggests that the island had these specific natural elements. Sea grape and palm trees are commonly found in tropical regions, indicating that the island was likely located in a tropical area. These elements provide an indication of the island's vegetation and environment.

Timothy waved a cloth with fire to get the attention of the airplane. This action would create a visual signal that is easily noticeable from a distance. By waving a cloth with fire, Timothy would be able to attract the attention of the airplane and signal for help or assistance. This method is effective in catching the attention of others in emergency situations and can be seen as a distress signal.

In the given options, the correct answer is "Timothy pulled him back by his hair." This means that Timothy used Phillip's hair as a means to physically pull him back onto the raft.

When Phillip fell overboard, he went under the water and couldn't determine the direction to swim in order to reach the surface. This suggests that he lost his sense of orientation and was disoriented in the water.
