Answer:
b) After a minute he can't hear anything.
Answer:
a. He was stricken by terror when he saw the young seagull leaned forward
b. After a minute he felt his wings grow outwards and he wasn't terrified any longer.
Explanation:
He dropped off as the young seagull leaned forward. His heart stopped beating as he felt a horrible terror grip him. The sensation only lasted a minute. He felt his wings grow outwards in the following second. The tips of his wings were slicing through the air, he could feel it.
He understood he wasn't falling, but soaring downwards and outwards, and he wasn't terrified any longer. He then soared skyward after flapping his wings once. He had completely forgotten about his earlier inability to fly.
