Question

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.

Writing in a complete sentence, what is the main idea of the passage?

Answer 1

Answer: Well, since dragons haven't been confirmed to exist yet due to scientists not being able to find clues such as bones or marks on the land. But due to scientists not being able to explain anything and dragons being pretended in several cultures and documents, they might have existed at one point.

Explanation: (yes I do know someone answered very similar to me and yeah I did write some of it from him)

Answer 2

Because dragons are present in many documents from many different cultures, and because science cannot always explain everything, it is possible that dragons existed at some point.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of how this passage could be summarized in one sentence. In this passage, the author tells us that she became interested in finding out whether dragons were real or not. She also tells us that she had reason to believe that dragons could be real, particularly because they are mentioned in a variety of documents from many different cultures.
