Think about the idiomatic expression in the following excerpt from "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." “[Smiley’s
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Admit that they lost the bet

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • admit that they lost the bet
  • bet more money on Smiley's dog
  • grab Smiley's dog and tie it up
  • try to help the other dog beat Smiley's dog

An idiom is a phrase that has a figurative, non-literal meaning. We can't conclude what this type of phrase means based on the meanings of individual words that make it up. Here, we have the idiom <em>throw up the sponge</em>. No one is literally throwing up sponges. This phrase means<em> </em><em>to give up a contest </em>or <em>to acknowledge defeat</em>.

Based on this information, we can conclude that the dogs are fighting until the people who own them admit that they lost the bet.

If readers are not able to infer from particular facts information that is not openly stated, they cannot make any
lesya692 [45]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

Generalization is making a general, broad statement from something specific. For instance, if you read that a dog chases squirrels, and you conclude that all dogs do the same, you are making a generalization.

Generalizations, however, cannot be successfully made if the information is not openly stated. Readers often make conclusions based on information that is described to them in detail. If the information is not specifically stated in the material they are reading, they will not perceive the message and make generalizations.
