A. He is terrified of Smollett.
B. He does not like Smollett.
C. He is good friends with Smollett.
D. He thinks Smollett is not trustworthy.

Answer 1

In 'Treasure Island,' Mr. Trelawney does not like Captain Smollett due to differences in opinion on the voyage's management, leading to disagreements between the two.

Step-by-step explanation:

In chapters 7-9 of Treasure Island, Mr. Trelawney exhibits a lack of fondness for Captain Smollett. He is not terrified or distrustful of Smollett, nor are they good friends. The tension arises because Mr. Trelawney, who has funded the voyage, feels that Smollett is too severe and difficult to agree with on matters concerning the journey and management of the crew. Smollett's strict conduct and insistence on discipline contrast with Trelawney's more naive and romantic ideas about seafaring adventure. This difference in opinions leads to disagreements and a lack of harmony between the two characters.

Answer 2

D. He thinks Smollett is not trustworthy.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the book, Mr. Trelawney has doubts about Captain Smollett's abilities as a leader and is not sure if he can trust him with the voyage. This is evident in Trelawney's interactions with Smollett and his constant questioning of his decisions.
