Icould 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.

the text discusses the chinese calendar by writing, "dragons are included along with eleven real animals."

what does that imply?

dragons are the only fake animal on the chinese calendar.
dragons are not the only fake animal on the chinese calendar.
dragons are real because all the other animals on the calendar are fake.
dragons are real because all the other animals on the calendar are real.
