Answer:
There is none

I have found this question online, and it is about the short story "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," by Mark Twain. The excerpt is long for me to post here, but it begins with the story told by Simon Wheeler, one of the characters.
Answer:
The option that best states how the author develops the character in this excerpt is:
A. with the use of dialect.
Explanation:
When it comes to literature, dialect is related to how the author portrays the characters' speech. Many authors choose to write words with an uncommon spelling just to show that that is the way the character pronounces them. For instance, in books by Zora Neale Hurston, what should be "I" was spelled as "Ah" to emphasize pronunciation.
<u>The same happens in this short story by Mark Twain. The excerpt we are analyzing here uses dialect to reveal more about the character. For example, Wheeler says "feller" instead of "fellow". Twain wants readers to know that Wheeler is a simple man, in contrast with the narrator of the story who is an educated man and who uses a very different (formal) dialect from Wheeler.</u>
The correct answer is B. 'She's'. When making a contraction, take the two words that you want to make into a contraction and replace at least one letter from the second word with an apostrophe.
She has
In this case, these are the words that we're trying to turn into a contraction. There really isn't any way to explain why we use 'She's' instead of 'She'as', except that 'She's' is the commonly accepted word in the English language.
She's
Now, replace the letters 'h' and 'a' with an apostrophe.
Hope this helps!
