Explanation:

First Question: Why were the boys not rescued at this time?

This question is about the context of "Lord of the Flies". The boys were not rescued at that time because it was night, and the rescue (by a ship noticing the fire) couldn't happen as the conditions for being seen (like daylight or a visible fire signal) weren't met. The other options: the fire was going (they had a fire, but it might have been out or not visible at night), foggy/rainy aren't the main reasons here, and the Marines - related option is incorrect as there are no Marines in this context initially.

In "Lord of the Flies", after the near - rescue incident, Jack forms his own group called the hunters. The other options: "gatherers" and "nightcrawlers" are not the groups Jack forms. He doesn't get elected president (Ralph is the leader initially) and the attack with spears and dictatorial move happens later, not at this meeting.

Answer:

A. It was night.

Second Question: In the meeting after the near rescue, what does Jack do?
