Answer:

We can see this when he uses words like "solitry" and "Thish-yer".

Explanation:

This question is about "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County".

The narrator of the story, although maintaining a simple language, presents a formal diction, with polite words and absence of slang and colloquialism. This narrator presents an educated and cultured tone through the words he uses, in contrast to Simon Wheeler, who is less sophisticated when using colloquial words, slang and a more popular and informal diction. This can be seen through the words "solitry" and "Thish-yer"

Answer:

This is

Explanation:

The exciting combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and flying through the midnight sky. Determined to find out if dragons really could have existed, I set out on a factual search.

Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons couldn't and did not exist. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world.

I noticed that all cultures around the world described dragons in a similar way. I found notes on dragons in old legal documents and in the travel diaries of people like Marco Polo. Dragons are included along with eleven royal animals.

If you create stomach gas like birds do, you could create enough to lift yourself off the ground. If you expel air while diving towards land, it could release gases that could ignite. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its corpse over time.

Some will believe with all their hearts that legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I'm not sure which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this make me smile.
