Because she talks about it constantly
the answer to your first question is option D good luck
Answer:
An enslaved man believes a talking cooter will help him gain his freedom.
Explanation:
1. It’s never stated or implied that Jim and the cooter are friends.
3. Jim is leading the slaveowner to the cooter. This does not imply that the cooter wants to meet Jim, nor does it state such directly.
4. It’s stated that Jim is already a dreamer. It never says Jim is a talking cooter.
As for why the answer I gave is right, it’s because that’s what the majority of the passage is about. The second sentence states it directly, despite some minor differences in phrasing, and the rest of the passage discusses Jim trying to use the talking cooter to get freed. Hope it helps :)

are<u> </u><u>singing</u><u> </u>

Since, in the sentence we can see that the action is continuing. Hence its present continuous tense.
The above sentence is about present continuous. Here two actions are happening. One is "listening" and the other is "are singing".
