Answer:
B. The Rocky Mountain locusts were more widespread.
Explanation:
The correct statement is statement B, which is confirmed by the sentence <em>But these attacks </em>(attacks of the grasshoppers) <em>don't last as long or cover as wide an area as the locust plagues of the 1800s. </em>The statement C, which says that the Rocky Mountain locusts had shorter attacks, contradicts this. Statement A is correct, but that is not a difference between grasshoppers and locusts, as grasshoppers cause destruction, too. The diet of the locusts is not specified in the excerpt, but it is known that they didn't eat only grass and valuable crops, but leather, wood, sheep's wool, and even clothes off peoples' backs as well.

Answer:
Incongruity
Explanation:
Incongruence is the term used to describe a situation in which an individual provides inaccurate and contradictory information with one another. We can see this in the passage above, when the narrator states that a single person is a good man and a better exhorter, because these two characteristics are extremely contradictory.
The excerpt shown above belongs to "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" story written by Mark Twain, where we are introduced to Jim Smiley who believed that his frog was the biggest jumper in relation to all the frogs in the city.
