Answer 1

In The Old Man and the Sea the unlucky fisherman, Santiago, sets out to sail far away into the waters to catch some fish and he manages to catch a big marlin. He can't reel it in for a while and when he finally does he's exhausted, and then sharks attack his ship. The answer is "C. uses every resource available to him to fight the sharks"

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. uses every resource available to him to fight the sharks.

Step-by-step explanation: In "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway, Santiago was more afraid of the sharks eating the fish he caught, but then sacrificed the fish for his own survival. The blood from the fish attracted sharks, and him harpooning the sharks drew more in. He was able to overcome it despite all odds being against him.
