He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye. But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon—spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!" The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief. "It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor." It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long—with scales and wings. So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt. And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings. "Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed." And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles. What is the main idea of the bolded section? Harry found something unusual in his tea. Harry compared his specimen to the doctor's. The specimen scared Harry. The specimen died in Harry’s hand.

Despite the gray weather, she could see sunshine in the golden raindrops and glistening treasure in every puddle. Even with the gray weather lifting, she could feel the chill creeping into the empty corners of every part of her tired body. In spite of the gray weather, she wasn't convinced one way or the other that anything would change anytime soon. With the gray weather lingering, she knew her mind would turn to the simple times and lost memories of her youth. answer number 1 Which line most strongly suggests something good is about to happen to the protagonist? When the window flew open, Zena flinched as if startled, then resumed chewing her fingernails nervously. When the window flew open, Zena had a thought, a glow of shining hope that something had changed. When the window flew open, Zena paused, catching her breath and gasping at the sudden rush of cold air. When the window flew open, Zena wanted to rush from the room and seek out a dark, quiet broom closet. answer number 2 Which line most clearly creates a conflict between the protagonist and the setting? Kayden felt the branches and briars pulling at her, slowing her down, blocking her path. Kayden pushed aside the wingspanly thorns and moved quietly down the trail, crying as she went.

Kayden wished the path were shorter, the way easier to walk, and her decision less difficult. answer number 2 Read this sentence and answer the question below: With a grave face and a determined mind, she walked into the meeting to deliver the bad news.
