1. The cruise ship will rescue Jarod.
2. The text states that after Jarod fired the emergency flare, the yacht turned toward him and tooted its horn again, indicating it noticed him. He then jumped up and down and continued waving his makeshift flag, showing he was actively trying to get their attention, which suggests they are likely to come closer and rescue him.
3. Mr. Rabbit or Mr. Fox will shoot their weapon.
4. The text describes both men drawing weapons and facing off in a standoff. Mr. Rabbit’s finger is tensed on the trigger, and Mr. Fox says “we’ve got a standoff,” implying imminent action. The sound of the steel plate crashing like a gunshot further heightens tension, suggesting one of them will fire soon.
