Which three words or phrases in this excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish" compare the fish to an old, experienced soldier?

A green line, frayed at the end where he broke it, two heavier lines, and a fine black thread still crimped from the strain and snap when it broke and he got away. Like medals with their ribbons frayed and wavering, a five-haired beard of wisdom trailing from his aching jaw. I stared and stared and victory filled up the little rented boat, from the pool of bilge where oil had spread a rainbow

In the excerpt from "The Fish" by Elizabeth Bishop, some words  or phrases tha compare the fish to an old experienced soldier are:

Like medals with ribbons frayed and wavering: the fish got away and survived, and now as an experienced soldier waves his medals with ribbons.

beard of wisdom trailing from aching jaw: an old soldier that was injured, moving slowly on the ground.

victory: this is the goal of a soldier after the fight. In this case was the fish that <em>was finally caught "filling up the little boat."</em>

Read the below Abstract. Summarize it using 5-7 sentences.
Korvikt [17]

While low-carbohydrate diets have become increasingly popular as a potential, more effective method of weigh loss that has, as well, other health benefits, doctors believe, based on the available research literature, that these diets carry potential long-term health risks. The research literature indicates: first, that this type of diet is highly effective for short-term weight loss but the long-term effectiveness is not significantly greater than other diets: that the extra health benefits are unknown so far, and finally, that there is higher potential for negative health outcomes due to an increased consumption of saturated fat. More research is needed, but this three points seem to conclude on the importance of following a balanced, moderate diet appropiate for the individual.
