Answer 1

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, that could lead to a disease. What should you do? Well, you should filter the water before drinking it. Never drink unknown water as that could lead to disease, and that would not help when you are stranded on a desert island. In any case, drink rain water if it rains :D

Answer 2

You should not drink the salt water if you are stranded on a desert island.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ocean water consists of a higher concentration of salt than your cells. So your cells would not be able to handle the high salt concentrations. Drinking the salt water would make you more dehydrated.
