StrugglingNeed help with a few questions, please.
1. Which of the following best describes the iceberg theory that governs Hemingway's method of storytelling?

By omitting certain details, a writer could strengthen his work and make readers look beneath the surface of his writing.

By remaining cold and impersonal, an author could make events and characters more realistic to readers.

By asserting that art was meaningless and offered humanity nothing, a writer could protest the harsh realities of everyday life.

By focusing on characters that were traditionally "left out in the cold" or ignored, a writer could distinguish himself.

2.One of the themes that The Old Man and the Sea highlights is .

the importance of wealth and material possessions in the lives of Hemingway's characters

the dignity that comes from exhibiting perseverance in the face of adversity

the idea that a person as unlucky as Santiago must have done something wrong

the fact that people, at their core, are inherently selfish, uncaring, and violent

3.How does Hemingway immediately establish Manolin as a sympathetic figure in the novella?

He tells the story from Manolin's point of view, so readers are inclined to adopt the boy's views and opinions.

He shows the ways in which Manolin treats Santiago with great respect and affection.

He describes the ways in which Manolin is chastised and rebuked by Santiago, so readers feel sorry for him.

He depicts Manolin as far luckier than Santiago by describing how the young man has caught many fish lately.
