"It's out there in front of us, as big as a battleship". What sight made Jonathan utter the above line in the chapter 'We are not Afraid to Die ………. if we can All Be Together".


Options:

  1. Tremendous leak below waterline
  2. Rising of water level in the boat
  3. Colossal explosion of waves
  4. The stark outline of Ile Amsterdam

Right Answer: The stark outline of Ile Amsterdam

In Gordon Cook and Alan East’s narrative ‘We’re Not Afraid to Die… if We Can All Be Together’, the family has survived a savage storm in the Southern Indian Ocean and is desperately searching for the tiny island of Ile Amsterdam. Jonathan, the narrator’s six-year-old son, is the first to sight land and cries out that it is there in front of them, as big as a battleship. The stark outline of the island rising out of the sea signals rescue after days of pumping water, and the comparison conveys both its size and the children’s relief.
