Nights and Dragons—
From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne
I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.

Answer:

a) it is a stormy night

b) 1/30

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We can answer this question by analyzing what the protagonist experienced with her senses.

She states she heard growling of a thunder and saw flashes of light. These flashes of light represent lightning. Lightning together with the sound of thunder helps us infer that there is a storm raging outside. Later in the paeagraph she compares this scenery to a dragon roaring and breathing fire.

b) If I understood correctly, the task was to multiply (-1/6) • (-1/5).

When multiplying fractions, we separately multiply numerators (top number) and denominators (bottom number). So, the numerator of the solution will be (-1) • (-1) which is positive 1 (when multiplying two negative numbers, the outcome is always positive value), and the denominator of the solution will be 6 • 5 which is 30.

So, the product of these two fractions will be positive 1/30.
