2 answers:

4 0

in this story Twain describes how one river fades away in the light of his feelings and thoughts. He praises the river being magnificent and beautiful when he was a captain. However, as a steam boat captain Twain devalues its beauty. The process of observation shows the author's change in the perspective when the river is lost before his eyes. The general conclusion is that the knowledge and the experience change the way you look at a river, first you look at its beauty then you look at the river as a source of information.

The IF implies that something is conditional i.e. it may happen, it may not happen (it depends on whether you can sing well enough!)
Hope this helps... :)

The correct answer should be Smiley will bet on anything, on any side.

Smiley doesn't even care whether he supports something or not, as long as he can bet on it. He even bets on which frog can jump the highest against people who don't have frogs, so he catches new frogs for them just so they could bet on it. That's why he gets tricked in the end.
