English
1 answer:
nasty-shy [4]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answers are B and C: The girl does impossible things, and the story has humorous exaggerations.

Explanation:

“How Mighty Kate Stopped the Train” is a tall tale because the main character, Kate, is stronger than real-life people and does impossible things; for example, after Kate was born and the doctor weighed her, she weighed the doctor. In addition, “How Mighty Kate Stopped the Train” is a tall tale because the story has humorous exaggerations and hyperbole; for example, the statement, “When the wind and rain raged so hard that homes shook in fear, trees ran for their lives”, is humorous and a great exaggeration of reality. Typically, a tall tale is a tale or story of characters that are greater or stronger than real life characters; also, tall tales have humorous statements that are exaggerated.
