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 :)
