Based on the context of each excerpt from "the fish" by elizabeth bishop, choose the word that most closely matches the denotation of the bolded word. sulky or angry firmly fixed or attached compressed or crumpled i caught a tremendous fish and held him beside the boat half out of water, with my hook fast in a corner of his mouth. 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. i admired his sullen face, the mechanism of his jaw, and then i saw that from his lower lip —if you could call it a lip grim, wet, and weapon like, hung five old pieces of fish-line,

Fast——firmly fixed or attached

Crimped—— compressed or crumpled

Sullen—— sulky or angry

Firmly fixed or attached = I caught a tremendous fish and held him beside the boat half out of water, with my hook fast in a corner of his mouth.

The hook needs to hold on to the fish so that the fisherman can pull him out of the water. Since the hook is being described as fast to the fish's mouth, that tells us it is attached.

compressed or crumpled = 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.  

Crimped means to be compressed or crumpled. A crimping iron used on a person's hair makes the hair have ridges like whereas a straightening iron makes a person's hair straight, and a curling iron gives it curls.

sulky or angry = I admired his sullen face, the mechanism of his jaw, and then I saw that from his lower lip —if you could call it a lip grim, wet, and weapon like, hung five old pieces of fish-line,

The face is the one of the fish who has been caught. It's obvious he has been hooked before since there are five old pieces of fish-line hanging out of his mouth. This is most likely the first time he's been reeled in which makes him angry.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
