Respuesta :

A) The story will be long and tedious. That is the answer.

In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", by Mark Twain, what the reader concludes about the story that Simon Wheeler is going to tell the narrator is A) The story will be long and tedious. Wheeler uses long descriptive sentences with bad grammar, and full of dialect.  " ...if I asked old Wheeler  about him,... he would... bore me nearly to  death with some infernal reminiscence of him as long and tedious as it should be useless to me."
