The set of lines that shows that Duke Orsino considers men to be more easily swayed by passion than women is this one: "For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, More longing, wavering, sooner lost and won, Than women's are."
The Duke, who is talking to Viola, is arguing that no matter how much men praise themselves, their "fancies" (their whims, their desires) are more "giddy" (more frivolous, more euphoric) and "unfirm" (more unsteady, since they are not firmly set), more "longing" (more craving), "wavering" (more quivering, more fluctuating), sooner lost and won (that is to say, temporal, brief, fleeting) that women's fancies. Because of this, they are more easily persuaded by passion, due to the intense, strong, enthusiastic, and uncontrollable nature of this feeling.
Edgar Allan Poe has a unique and dark way of writing. His mysterious style of writing appeals to emotion and drama. Poe's most impressionable works of fiction are gothic. His stories tend to have the same recurring theme of either death, lost love or both.

Answer:
An enslaved man believes a talking cooter will help him gain his freedom.
Explanation:
1. It’s never stated or implied that Jim and the cooter are friends.
3. Jim is leading the slaveowner to the cooter. This does not imply that the cooter wants to meet Jim, nor does it state such directly.
4. It’s stated that Jim is already a dreamer. It never says Jim is a talking cooter.
As for why the answer I gave is right, it’s because that’s what the majority of the passage is about. The second sentence states it directly, despite some minor differences in phrasing, and the rest of the passage discusses Jim trying to use the talking cooter to get freed. Hope it helps :)
