Read the following excerpt from the poem "the fish" by elizabeth bishop: 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.
which best describes the effect of the poem's word choice on its meaning?
a. the speaker explains why the fish has "a five-haired beard"
hanging to suggest how silly it must look.
b. the speaker describes the "aching jaw" to make the reader
empathize with the fish instead of the person.
c. the speaker describes 'a green line, frayed at the end where he
broke it" to show how weak the fishing line is.
d. the speaker compares the broken fishing lines to "medals" to
show that the fish's survival is a triumph.

“dear sir: it is with great reluctance, i trouble you on a subject, which does not fall within your province; but it is a subject that occasions me more distress, than i have felt, since the commencement of the war; and which loudly demands the most zealous exertions of every person of weight and authority, who is interested in the success of our affairs. i mean the present dreadful situation of the army for want of provisions, and the miserable prospects before us, with respect to futurity. it is more alarming than you will probably conceive, for, to form a just idea, it were necessary to be on the spot. for some days past, there has been little less, than a famine in camp. a part of the army has been a week, without any kind of flesh, and the rest for three or four days. naked and starving as they are, we cannot enough admire the incomparable patience and fidelity of the soldiery, that they have not been ere this excited by their sufferings, to a general mutiny or dispersion. strong symptoms, however, discontent have appeared in particular instances; and nothing but the most acitive efforts every where can long avert so shocking a catastrophe.” what’s the central idea?
