This is from The Cay! which of the following best describes Phillip and Timothy's relationship?

a. Phillip regards Timothy as a father figure b. they have learned to tolorate each other c. they enjoy a close friendship d. they rely on each other for the sake of survival

The answer is C) They enjoy a close friendship & D) They rely on each other for the sake of survival.

At the beginning we don't see the friendship or the trust in each other, that's because Phillip is very rude and mean to Timothy, but as the time goes by they compliment each other and make a bond where they function as a vital part for the friendship and survival.
