One of the exaggerations of Jim Smiley was by Simon Wheeler wherein Wheeler would say that Jim Smiley is the type of person that "bets on anything that turned up". In the story, Smiley betted on cockfights, horse races, cat fights and other animal fights. This hyperbole emphasizes that Smiley loves to bet and gamble in general.

The exaggeration about Jim Smiley that the narrator of "the notorious jumping frog of calaveras country" makes is "Smiley will bet on anything, on any side."

Jim Smiley is a man addicted to gambling and he likes to compete, actually he’ll bet on anything, including the long shot and the underdog. On top of that, he is a very lucky man. He usually wins. But above all, he has a knack for finding and cultivating animals that appear to be losers or nothing special but, in fact, have the gumption they need to win.

Although coal, hydrocarbons, iron ore, platinum, copper, chromium, nickel, gold and other minerals have been found, they have not been in large enough quantities to exploit. The 1991 Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty also restricts a struggle for resources.

It is an example of 3. personification.
Personification is a figure of speech where non-human entities are given human abilities or characteristics. So, flowers usually cannot smile (it is something that humans/animals can do), which is why it is a personification. Carpe Diem is the theme of this poem, but not the correct answer here.

Explain Theseus' Comparison of waiting to a "step-dame or a dowager"
MrRa [10]
A step-dame (stepmother) and dowager (widow holding property for her deceased husband) would make their son (or stepson) wait until they die to inherit all of the land or money.

Theseus is saying that he is tired of waiting for his wedding day to Hippolyta, comparing himself to that 'young man' waiting for his dowager or stepdame to die because to him, Hippolyta is a great fortune.
