Question

What does Santiago envy about the intense wind called the levanter?

A) Its ability to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time
B) Its boldness
C) Its ability to sooth
D) Its freedom

Answer 1

The levanter is the wind that brings with it Santiago's desires. His desire to travel and seek adventure in the beginning and in the end a message from his beloved. I would choose D as an answer because even though Santiago is free to make his own choices and travel, there are obstacles that get in his way, while the levanter is unobstructed.
