Question

Give a reason why international date line deviates and goes zig zag near some islands in the Pacific ocean

Answer 1

"The international date line roughly follows the 180° meridian"

The international date line deviates it's path somewhere in the Pacific ocean to avoid the islands because if the line would bifurcate a country , time in one side of the country would completely differ from time in the other part. This would create a lot of confusion among people living in that country
