In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" by Mark Twain, what adjectives best describe the character of Jim Smiley?
credible, genuine
realistic, funny
comic, exaggerated
idealistic, dreamy
Jim Smiley is clearly a funny character, betting on rather arbitrary things like how far a frog can jump. He's exaggerated in the sense that he'll bet a large sum on pretty much anything ($40 in Mark Twain's day was roughly a thousand dollars today!)
