To determine which passage from the book "The Cay" best indicates that Philip will manage to survive without Timothy, we need to analyze each passage and consider the context.

A. The passage states that two small bars of chocolate were ruined, which does not directly indicate that Philip will manage to survive without Timothy. It only references the loss of a food item.

B. This passage indicates that Philip was able to find and break open a coconut, which suggests that he is resourceful and capable of finding food on his own. This passage implies that Philip has the skills to survive without Timothy.

C. In this passage, Philip expresses a determination to rebuild the hut and build another signal fire. While this indicates his resilience and survival instincts, it does not directly indicate that he will survive without Timothy.
