Answer 1

Which one do you think it is? Have you read the book yet or do you need a summary of it?

Answer 2

I've read up to what we need to be at on the class, and I think it might be A but im not completely sure...

Answer 3

Can you summarize what you read so far?

Answer 4

Or at least say what chapter you had to read to

Answer 5

i read to chapter ten- which is where everyone in the class is on the book

Answer 6

Alright so summarize some of the things that happen in the book: With Jack becoming the leader of the hunters he now has a close group of friends who think of him as a leader. Because of this, Jack attempts to persuade all the boys to put him as permanent leader instead of Ralph, however this fails. Jack then says that when anyone is ready they can join him to where they will have fun and through hunting and eating meat. Many boys leave to join Jack while Ralph and Piggy attempt to tell them how they need to create a fire in order to escape the island.
So to answer your question, It would be B because it is the only answer choice that specifically mentions Jack and logically could create tension between the two boys.
