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.
What do the first two sentences of this paragraph imply
Multiply negative 1 over 6 multiplied by negative 1 over 5 . get the anwer please
Answer:
a) it is a stormy night
b) 1/30
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.
Answer: The first two sentences of this paragraph imply of It is a stormy night.
Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.
In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

The outermost or topmost layer of a physical object or place is referred to as its surface in most contexts. It is the area or part of the thing that an observer can initially perceive using their senses of touch and sight, as well as the area where other materials first come into contact with the object.
The set of structural principles governing the English language are known as English grammar. This encompasses the organization of individual words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and texts as a whole.
This article presents a generalized, modern Standard English, a speech and writing style used in public discourse across a variety of registers, from official to informal, in fields like broadcasting, education, entertainment, government, and news. Some historical, social, cultural, and regional varieties of English deviate from the grammar discussed here, though they are often less significant than variations in vocabulary and pronunciation.
Therefore, Option (D) is correct. Nature provided fire for humans.
