Which excerpt from The Great Fire best supports the theme that there was a sense of hope that the city would rebuild after the f

ire? “But as she passed through the blackened landscape and came closer and closer to them, she must have felt much the way another fire victim, Mrs. Charles Forsberg, did: ‘When we lay down, away from the crowd, and I knew I had my [family] safe, I felt so rich — I have never in my life felt so rich!’” “Alfred Sewell ended his discussion of Chicago with a stirring prediction: ‘The city will nevertheless rise again, nay, is already rising, like the Phoenix, from her ashes. And she will, we believe, be a better city as well as a greater one, than she was before her disaster.’” “The demand for carpenters and bricklayers soared, and farmers from as far away as 150 miles came to get jobs. Salaries also rose, with unskilled laborers commanding two dollars a day.” “It continued driving the fire through the heart of Chicago, devouring churches, banks, publishing houses and printers, breweries, grain elevators, lumberyards, and department stores as if they were constructed of brittle hay. Buildings that citizens viewed with great pride, such as the Courthouse, were gobbled up.”

“Alfred Sewell ended his discussion of Chicago with a stirring prediction: ‘The city will nevertheless rise again, nay, is already rising, like the Phoenix, from her ashes. And she will, we believe, be a better city as well as a greater one, than she was before her disaster.’”

This is the best option because it gives the feeling of hope. The image of the Phoenix rising out of the ashes is meant to show that Chicago will once rise again. It will come back and be even better. The quote says that the city will "rise again" and "is already rising". Two of the other options only speak of the devastation of the fire. The option about the workers tells about the demand for laborers but it doesn't necessarily evoke a sense of hope in rebuilding.

A market economy is an economy where most resources are owned and controlled by individuals and are allocated through voluntary market transactions governed by the interaction of supply and demand.advantages: Competition leads to efficiency because businesses that have fewer costs are more competitive and make more money.
Innovation is encouraged because it provides a competitive edge and increases the chance for wealth.
A large variety of goods and services are available as businesses try to differentiate themselves in the market.
Economic activity is encouraged because you need money to live and need to engage in economic activity (through employment or self-employment) to make money.
disadvantages: Environmental damage results with no government regulations because it's usually more expensive to produce in an environmentally sound manner, which reduces profits.
There tends to be a reduced social safety net, including such programs as unemployment insurance, Social Security, and Medicare, because these programs are supported through taxation.
command economy is one in which a centralized government controls the means of production. The government determines what is produced, how it is produced and how it is distributed. Private enterprise does not exist in a command economy. The government employs all workers and unilaterally determines their wages and job duties. There are advantages and disadvantages of command economy structures. Command economy advantages include low levels of inequality and unemployment and the common good replacing profit as the primary incentive of production. Command economy disadvantages include lack of competition and lack of efficiency.
