In John Steinbeck's novella "The Pearl," when Kino confronts the men who are trying to steal his pearl, he does not kill all three of them. Instead, he is attacked, and during the struggle, he retaliates. Ultimately, one of the men is killed, but Kino does not kill all of them, and he does not have a direct encounter with all three during this event. The correct answer based on the events in the story is:
b. one of them shoots him in the foot.
This results in Kino being injured, and it highlights the violence and desperation surrounding his quest for the pearl.
