It's a 144 page book. These are simple questions. My youngest daughter read it at 8.

You can at least make an effort to read a few summaries of the story online and answer most of these yourself. http://www.enotes.com/cay/chapter-summary or http://www.shmoop.com/the-cay/summary.html

Use your ability to think for yourself, don't surrender to laziness.
