Simon comments to Ralph that he doesn't believe in the beast. Recall his earlier inability to imagine the beast that the twins described and his image of a heroic and sick human. Is it likely that anyone else would agree with him? Why or why not? Is Simon's disbelief reasonable?
a) No, because the other boys are too frightened to consider Simon's perspective.
b) Yes, because the other boys are logical and skeptical.
c) No, because the other boys are easily swayed by fear and hysteria.
d) Yes, because the other boys have also questioned the existence of the beast.
