"to an old experienced soldier"
Please re-think. There are better answers.
Which words or phrases in this excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish" compare the fish to an old, experienced soldier?
A green line, frayed at the end
(A) where he broke it, two heavier lines,
and a fine black thread
still crimped from the strain and snap
(b)when it broke and he got away.
(C)Like medals with their ribbons
(D)frayed and wavering,
(E)a five-haired beard of wisdom
(F)trailing from his aching jaw.
I stared and stared
(G)and victory filled up
the little rented boat,
from the pool of bilge
where oil had spread a rainbow
I think it is D and E but this is a guess
