damaskus [11]

Answer:

B.) he knows the fish will be upset by his latest request

Explanation:

The question is related to the story about "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish," which was written by <em>Alexander Pushkin.</em> This is a<em> fairy tale</em> which centers on<u> the life of a poor old man and a woman.</u> Upon fishing, the old man found a "golden fish." The fish asked him to spare his life and in return he was given a wish. The old man didn't want anything, however, when he told his wife about it, his wife wanted him to ask the fish for a<em> "new trough."</em> This was followed by many other wishes.

In the end, she wanted to become the "Ruler of the Sea." This made the fisherman hesitant because <u>he knows that the golden fish would be upset by his latest request. </u>His wife wanted <em>more wishes</em> from the fish, thus<em> she wanted to control it. </em>The fish then stopped the greed of the wife by putting her back to her usual situation.

So, this explains the answer.
