I think the answer is D.
A- is wrong bc it clearly states this but it doesn’t show how Toby is an asset to Parker.
B- this is wrong because they did not say anything about epilepsy in the text
C- this is wrong because it it about both Toby and Parker and not just Toby.
Answer:
Ned was leveraging on the fact that they will be a few miles off the coast of Spain; as a result the circumstances they were expecting to engineer their escape was at hand.
The plan was that their escape process will take place at the time Captain Nemo is locked in his room and in bed. Also, the mechanics or crewmen will not be able to sight them at the time of their escape.
Ned and Conseil will be at the central companionway while Professor Aronnax will stay in the library two steps away until he receives a signal from Ned. Ned has in his possession a monkey wrench which he will use to unscrew the nuts bolting the skiff to the Nautilus's hull.
On a favorable circumstance, they expected to land on solid ground between ten and eleven in the evening or they will be dead.
