Which lines in this excerpt from Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish" suggest that the speaker respects the fish?

A green line, frayed at the end

where he broke it, two heavier lines,

and a fine black thread

still crimped from the strain and snap

when it broke and he got away.

Like medals with their ribbons

frayed and wavering,

a five-haired beard of wisdom

trailing from his aching jaw.

a. A green line, frayed at the end

b. and a fine black thread

c. when it broke and he got away.

d. Like medals with their ribbons

e. a five-haired beard of wisdom

f. trailing from his aching jaw

    There are two possible answers for this question.

    d. Like medals with their ribbons

    e. a five-haired beard of wisdom

    We know that medals depict accomplishments and shows the greatness of a being.

    Wisdom is a quality that is respected by everybody because not all possesses this.
