Which phrase from the excerpt supports the claim that there is something sinister about the island?

This is the excerpt:

"Didn't you notice that the crew's nerves seemed a bit jumpy today?"

"They were a bit strange, now you mention it. Even Captain Nielsen—"

"Yes, even that tough-minded old Swede, who'd go up to the devil himself and ask him for a light. Those fishy blue eyes held a look I never saw there before. All I could get out of him was: 'This place has an evil name among sea-faring men, sir.' Then he said to me, very gravely: 'Don't you feel anything?'—as if the air about us was actually poisonous. Now, you mustn't laugh when I tell you this—I did feel something like a sudden chill.

"There was no breeze. The sea was as flat as a plate-glass window. We were drawing near the island then. What I felt was a—a mental chill; a sort of sudden dread."

"Pure imagination," said Rainsford. "One superstitious sailor can taint the whole ship's company with his fear."

Here are the answer choices:

“those fishy blue eyes”

“a sort of sudden dread”

“pure imagination”

“one superstitious sailor”

B

Why the others are incorrect:

A. The fishy blue eyes do not mention something bad. It may as well be positive.

C. This has a neutral connotation, and since sinister means bad, it can't be C.

D. Like C, this also has a neutral connotation.

That leaves us with B, the only answer with a negative connotation. It is the only answer that claims something sinister. Also I took the quiz on edge.

Hope this helps!!!

between the two muscle layers is the myenteric or auerbach's plexus, which controls peristalsis. in the colon, the muscularis externa is much thicker because the feces are large and heavy, requiring more force to push along. the stomach has a third layer of muscularis externa: the inner oblique layer.
