The sea is a symbol of the old man's life and of all life. True false

That is "True".

The significant symbol is the ocean, which represent all of life on which man must sail. In both the ocean and throughout everyday life, there are various potential outcomes that lie unseen of the regular eye; some are blessings to be loved and some are issues to be vanquished. Neither one of the two will be discovered except if man sets out upon the expedition.

Answer: The correct answer is : True

Explanation: The old man reflects that the sea is very beautiful but at the same time it is cruel because it gives life but also takes it away. It refers to the food chain where home living being takes its place. The death of one creature or species gives life to another. He sails further and further and stays in the sea for a long time, endangering his life in order to catch big fish for his sustenance.
