Answer 2

The Northumbrian people faced terrible weather and attacks.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The most appropriate central idea of the passage would be "The Northumbrian people faced terrible weather and attacks." This is because the passage talks about a dreadful year in the land of Northumbria and the different kinds of tragedies that befell upon them that particular year.

• The passage talks about 'immense sheets of lightning and whirlwinds' which means bad weather conditions, and 'fiery dragons were seen flying through the sky' which means attacks and infiltration from outsiders.
