Which sentence from the passage provides evidence that Whitney is
a more sensitive person than Rainsford?
*OFF THERE to the right--somewhere--is a large
island," said Whitney. "It's rather a mystery--"
"Even so, I rather think they understand one thing--
fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death."
"Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer
through the dank tropical night that was palpable as
it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.
"The old charts call it 'Ship-Trap Island, Whitney
replied." A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a
curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some
superstition-

When Whitney expresses his view on the dank tropical island as “It’s rather a mystery--” explains that he is more sensitive than Rainford. Because, Whitney expressed his views upon the island fearfully where Rainford was trying to fear Whitney by saying dark things about Island and how sailors perceive that place to Whitney which makes him even more dreadful. But from the given context explains that Whitney is kind.
