Simon wheeler from ‘The Notorious Jumping Frog’ is described
as a man who is lazy and bald though sometimes he is clever and usually aggressive.
Based on the story, the appropriate choice that would describe Simon is that ‘He
likes to tell stories’, it is because when you read the story, you can see that
Simon likes telling long stories.
The setting of "Marigolds" is during the depression or the 30s. You know this because the story says, "The depression that gripped the nation was no new thing to us" and "the black workers of rural Maryland had always been depressed".
