Solution
In "The Old Man and the Sea," Manolin shows his concern and support for Santiago in several ways.
a) He shares all of his caught fish and earnings with him, even though he isn't supposed to. This is not explicitly mentioned in the text. Manolin does bring Santiago food, but it is not stated that he shares all his earnings or caught fish with him.
b) He follows him out to sea so he can fish alongside him and keep him company. This is not accurate. Manolin used to fish with Santiago until his parents forced him to go with another boat which was catching more fish.
c) He seeks out ways to help with food, clothing, bedding, or labor. This is true. Manolin brings Santiago food when he can, helps him with his fishing gear, and looks after him.
d) He sneaks onto Santiago's fishing trips in order to help him catch fish. This is not true. Manolin does not sneak onto Santiago's boat. He used to go fishing with Santiago until his parents stopped him because Santiago was "unlucky."
