The correct option is B, as the statement is false. According to the text (The Celebrated Jumpling Frog of Calaveras County), the frog contest took place in an old mining camp.

"The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" is a tale written by Mark Twain in 1865, his first major success as a writer, which earned him national attention in the United States. It was also published as "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog" (his original title) and "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County". In it, the narrator tells the story he heard from a bartender, Simon Wheeler, at the Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, about a bettor named Jim Smiley. Twain describes him: "If he saw a cockroach go anywhere, he wanted to bet to know how long it would take to get to the point of his destination, and if they took his word he would go after the cockroach to Mexico without thinking about distance or time you would lose".

The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is also the name of a collection of short stories by Mark Twain. Launched in 1867, the writer's first book gathers 27 stories previously published in magazines and newspapers.

1. Relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. The distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the Cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

2. In 1703, during the Great Northern War, Peter the Great established the Peter and Paul fortress on small Hare Island, by the north bank of the Neva River. The fortress was the first brick and stone building of the new projected capital city of Russia and the original citadel of what would eventually be Saint Petersburg.

3. Peter the Great uses nobles for his busy seaport whereas Louis XIV weakened the nobles and made them feel inferior because even the luckiest noble would only tuck him into sleep. Louis XIV and Peter the Great served as great absolute monarchies that left a heavy impact on their states.
