    How was Phillip able to "see"?

    • Through the crack in his eyelids

    • He rubbed salt water in his eyes

    • Timothy told him what he saw

    Correct Answer
    A. Timothy told him what he saw
    Explanation
    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.

    • The chatter of a group of sea gulls

    A. The motor of an airplane

    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.

    • Shot a flare

    • Waved a cloth with fire

    • Yelled and waved a red flag

    Correct Answer
    A. Waved a cloth with fire
    Explanation
    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.
