In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" by Mark Twain, why is Simon Wheeler so eager to suggest to the stranger that

they bet on his frog? He is desparate and wants to earn some money to buy food. He is polite and wants to show the stranger a good time. He is lucky and almost always wins his bets. He is sneaky and wants to cheat the stranger out of some money.

He is lucky and almost always wins his bets.

FYI - Simon Wheeler does not suggest to the stranger that they bet on his frog. Simon Wheeler is the one telling the story about Jim Smiley and his frog Dan'l Webster. Dan'l Webster is the frog that is a great jumper so it's a good bet. However, the stranger fills Dan'l Webster with shot so he can't jump high and Smiley loses the bet.

Genrish500 [490]

The correct answer is A.

The bottom map provides data that shows that prescribed fires would actually reduce the carbon dioxide, as opposed to wild fires, which would produce it in large quantities.

Therefore, these maps could be used as evidence to support the idea that prescribed fires are benefitial for the environment, rather than harmful.
