Nights and Dragons—
From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne
I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.

The text discusses the Chinese calendar by writing, "Dragons are included along with eleven real animals."

What does that imply? (5 points)

Dragons are the only fake animal on the Chinese calendar.
Dragons are not the only fake animal on the Chinese calendar.
Dragons are real because all the other animals on the calendar are fake.
Dragons are real because all the other animals on the calendar are real.

Answer:

Dragons are real because all the other animals on the calendar are real.

Explanation:

The author talks about finding evidence that dragons are not only mythical creatures, but that they are actually real animals that truly exists. She lists all the evidence she has found to confirm this – there are animals in many different cultures mentioned in various moments in history. They are also in the Bible, as well as in real accounts of Marco Polo’s travels.

She then says she also has seen dragons along with other real animals in the Chinese calendar. For her, this is the proof. This is for her one more evidence that dragons are real – if other animals on the calendar are real, then also dragons should be real.

"Dragons are included along with eleven real animals." in the context of proving that dragons are real are used as evidence of their existence.

pleeeeeeeeeze help Which three lines in this excerpt from Susan Glaspell’s “A Jury of Her Peers” contribute to the story’s setting?
When Martha Hale opened the storm-door and got a cut of the north wind, she ran back for her big woolen scarf. As she hurriedly wound that round her head her eye made a scandalized sweep of her kitchen. It was no ordinary thing that called her away—it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in Dickson County. But what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted.She hated to see things half done; but she had been at that when the team from town stopped to get Mr. Hale, and then the sheriff came running in to say his wife wished Mrs. Hale would come too—adding, with a grin, that he guessed she was getting scary and wanted another woman along. So she had dropped everything right where it was.
"Martha!" now came her husband's impatient voice. "Don't keep folks waiting out here in the cold."

Which twO Words in this excerpt from The Count of Monte Cristo can be used as synonyms to determine the meaning of the word grotto?
Dantès entered the second grotto. The second grotto was lower and more gloomy than the first; the air that could only enter by the newly
formed opening had the mephitic smell Dantès was surprised not to find in the outer cavern. He waited in order to allow pure air to displace
the foul atmosphere, and then went on.
