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.

Why did people come to America for religious reasons ?
Elena L [17]

Colonies such as Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Maryland were settled primarily by people seeking religious freedom. Pilgrim Separatists desired a break from the Church of England, and arrived in Massachusetts aboard the Mayflower in 1620. Later, a different religious sect, the Puritans, arrived in Massachusetts fleeing persecution in England. Unlike the Separatists, the Puritans did not want to break from the Church of England; they wanted to "purify" it. This was met with opposition -- including violence -- and by 1630 nearly 20,000 Puritans fled to Massachusetts. Colonies such as Maryland were founded as a refuge for other persecuted religious groups. English persecution -- like a ban on a Catholic priest officiating a marriage of two Catholics -- prompted many to come to Maryland. Lord Baltimore founded Maryland as a Catholic refuge in 1632.
