With the marlin tied to his skiff, santiago heads for home but realizes he needs food for the trip. without a hook or bait, he catches shrimp to eat. what does this say about santiago? a. how unprepared he is for not bringing food with him b. what a foolish man he is for not eating some of the marlin c. how out of his head he must be to eat uncooked shrimp d. what a resourceful and experienced fisherman he is

The correct answer is D. What a resourceful and experienced fisherman he is

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the narrator explains a character called Santiago decides to catch some shrimps to eat as he realizes he needs food on the trip home. Details such as "Without a hook or bait" support the idea Santiago is resourceful and experienced in fishing because he catches shrimp even with no equipment for this; also, he uses his knowledge to obtain food in the middle of the ocean which requires expertise in fishing. Moreover, the fact he had caught a marlin before "the marlin tied to his skiff" shows he is not a novice in this but is probably a professional fisherman.
