"besides, he thought, everything kills everything else in some way. fishing kills me exactly as it keeps me alive." this passage exemplifies the theme of
a. man's perseverance.
b. harmony in nature
c. man vs. nature.
d. man's worthiness.
old man an the sea

The correct answer is option C. man vs. nature.

Explanation:

In the case of this passage we can observe a conflict of man vs nature type.

This kind of conflict reflects a situation where the man is confronted with a situation of nature that is beyond his control. Usually in this type of conflict it is used to demonstrate survival.

The man in question must resolve this conflict in order to move forward in history.

In this case, the conflict would be the conflict of killing a fish. If we quote Ernest Hemingway's text it says:

"But you enjoyed killing the dentuso, I thought. He lives on the live fish as you do. He is not a scavenger nor just a moving appetite as some sharks are. He is beautiful and noble and knows no fear of anything.

 "I killed him in self-defense," the old man said aloud. "And I killed him well."

 Besides, I thought, everything kills everything else in some way. Fishing kills me exactly as it keeps me alive. The boy keeps me alive, be thought. I must not deceive myself too much. "

Therefore, for survival man had to kill the fish.

This leads us to say that the correct option is option C

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.
