I believe the answer would be the second option, this is because the text states that amazonencore has been publishing since 2009, which eliminates the other choices (the first uses the word 'now' claiming they 'now' publish books, the second is not stated in the passage, so it isnt important. The last option claims amazon went through 'conflicts' but it did not, in fact the kindle is an amazon product) If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask! I hope this helped!
The reader is introduced to the marlin because Santiago sees one of the projecting sticks dip in the water (B).
In <em>The Old Man and the Sea</em>, the main character becomes aware of the presence of the marlin when he realizes something is tugging at his hundred-fathom-deep fishing line. Because of the strength of the bite, the stick to which the line is attached is pulled into the water. Santiago immediately recognizes the fish as being a large marlin.
Answer:
B. Does the narrator sound casual or formal?
