Answer:

A. He is tenacious and unwilling to give up.

Explanation:

This occurs in Part 3 of the book. In this section, we see that Santiago's hand has begun bleeding. He is not worried, as this leads him to assume that the marlin must be getting tired too. He also believes that he allowed his hand to get cut because he was distracted, and this motivates him to pay more attention and try harder. As time passes, his hand starts to get numb, and he is angry with himself. He tells his hand to turn into a claw, but knows that this will not lead him to stop. Santiago is extremely tenacious and each difficulty only encourages him to work harder.

Who is this Thomas á Becket fellow? Why does the narrator-persona begin his discussion of the various pilgrims by describing the

777dan777 [17]

Becket was born about 1119,[4] or in 1120 according to later tradition.[1] He was born in Cheapside, London, on 21 December, which was the feast day of St Thomas the Apostle. He was the son of Gilbert and Matilda Beket.[note 2] Gilbert's father was from Thierville in the lordship of Brionne in Normandy, and was either a small landowner or a petty knight.[1] Matilda was also of Norman descent,[2] and her family may have originated near Caen. Gilbert was perhaps related to Theobald of Bec, whose family also was from Thierville. Gilbert began his life as a merchant, perhaps as a textile merchant, but by the 1120s he was living in London and was a property owner, living on the rental income from his properties. He also served as the sheriff of the city at some point.[1] They were buried in Old St Paul's Cathedral.

<h3>What is a Contract?</h3>

This refers to the written agreement between two or more parties that is legally binding about an agreed thing.

Hence, we can note that in a typical contract situation, there is usually the inclusion of clauses to protect both the buyers, sellers, and intermediaries such as the 30-day refund policy listed above.
