Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavares County," and answer the quest

ion that follows.
Smiley ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'klated to edercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.
Which of the following words from the passage is an example of dialect?

edercate
flat-footed
whirling
punch

Answer:

Explanation:

flat footed is OK. If you are flat footed (no arch), the army will classify you as 4F.

Whirling: airplane propellers whirl. This a common enough word

Punch: means a drink or being hit.

The word that is a dialect is edercate. It appears nowhere that I know of. It is used in this excerpt to mean educate.

tatiyna

Answer:

The answer is B. Andy's discomfort in the cold wilderness.

Explanation:

I know this because I just took the test on edge. Also I know this because if you use process of elimination you would see that A. is not the correct answer because in the passage, Andy did't have any action that would indicate that he wanted to get away from the field. C. is not the answer because the passage said nothing about a hunt. Now D. is not the answer because the passage was mostly about their shock when they got to the barn, and Charlie showed no action of anxiety. <em>Your Welcome. I hope this helped!</em>
