Final answer:
A wild boar eats the "littlun" who has a mulberry-colored birthmark on his face, the given statement is b. false because the wild boar does not eat the 'littlun'. The boar is used symbolically in the story.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the novel 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding, the wild boar does not eat the 'littlun'. Instead, it is the boys on the island who turn into savages and commit the violent act. The boar is used symbolically in the story to represent the primal instincts and violence that emerge in the boys.
This story is a work of fiction and should not be taken as a representation of real wild boar behavior. In reality, wild boars are omnivorous animals that primarily eat plant material such as roots, berries, and acorns. They may also eat small animals like insects or rodents if they come across them while foraging. Therefore the statement that a wild boar eats the 'littlun' who has a mulberry-colored birthmark on his face is b. False.
