  Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" Quiz    
Multiple Choice
 10 Qns
Published in 1952, "The Old Man and the Sea" is one of Earnest Hemingway's smaller novels... small enough to pass for a short story, probably. However, Hemingway's "most popular work" is magical in its simplicity and endearing in its story. Enjoy.
