The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He sta

yed 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.

Read the passage from Initiation. "Remember the part about talking back and smiling," Louise Fullerton had put in, laughing. She
antiseptic1488 [7]
I would say the correct answer is girls had laughed a little nervously.
Based on this clause, we can deduce something about their personality, and that is that they are happy kids who want to laugh all the time but they are not allowed to. The other options are either direct characterization or not characterization at all.

Flem lives in Oregon. He's tired of the weather and decides to move one state south to live by the sea side. Which state did he
sashaice [31]
California

The clues from the text are "one state south" and "sea side". There are only a few states one state south of Oregon: Nevada and California. Nevada is landlocked which means it does not have any access to the ocean. Therefore, your answer must be California. California's entire Western border is on the ocean.
