Answer: From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.
Explanation:
Three pieces of evidence support this belief, these are the lines "they thought of how they had laboured," "what discouragements they had overcome" and "they gambolled round and round the windmill, uttering cries of triumph."
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Animals are being exploited and living in bad conditions, even after the revolution that promised them so much.
- This was all aggravated after the windmill stopped working, as it was essential for the farm's well-being.
- All of this made them feel very despondent about the whole situation.
- When the windmill was recovered, they felt very happy and ignored all the problems they were going through.
- They skipped around the mill, as its working was a point of happiness amidst the difficulties they were going through.
With that, even though there were still many problems on the farm, they felt excited, mainly because the mill was fixed by their work.

Answer:
Explanation:The detail which best supports the theme "What goes around, comes around" is shown in option: B. At least they decided to send for his fairy godmother to see if she could find a way to cure Prince Harweda of thinking of nothing but himself. This sentence shows how the consequences of king's and queen's being irresponsible while raising up a child approach their life. They let a kid do him whatever he wants and they got a selfish prince as a result.
I would believe this is a complex sentence. It contains a dependent and an independent clause to create one full sentence and a conjunctionn cannot combine the two clauses because of the questioning word in the very beginning of the sentence.
