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.

How did the allies win the battle of the Atlantic ?
podryga [215]

Answer:

The battle of the Atlantic was the naval warfare in the Atlantic Ocean between the German Kriegsmarine and the Allies' navies. The German Kriegsmarine had two categories: the Unterseefloat, which contained U-Boats (a type of German submarine), and the HochSeeFleet which contained the Capital ships, cruisers, and destroyers. The U-Boats were the main danger, as many Allied convoys had no escorts at the beginning of the war. The HochSeeFleet lost its pride, the Bismarck, on its maiden voyage, and never saw the success the Submarines did. Eventually, the battle of the Atlantic was won because of Germany's neglection of the navy, focusing all of it's resources to the land wars. Special sonar technology eventually made U-Boats much less scary, as they could be detected.

Bold is why the Allies won.
