In lizzie bright and the buckminster boy. which setting detail makes the phippsburg townspeople most nervous about allowing african americans to stay on malaga island?
the island’s tall pine trees
the island’s rocks that boats can hit
the island’s closeness to the mainland
the island’s high waves that beat the shore

The answer to the question that is being presented above would be the third statement 'the island's closeness to the mainland'. In Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy, the setting detail that makes the Phippsburg townspeople most nervous about allowing African Americans to stay on Malaga Island is the fact that the island is not that far from the mainland.

Iwant five points, so sorry to ruin your time.
