Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. "I saw a great many kindly acts done as we moved along," White would recall almost fondly

. "The poor helped the rich, and the rich helped the poor (if anybody could be called rich at such a time) to get on with their loads. I heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load. Very likely it was so, but those cases did not come under my own notice. It did come under my notice that some cartmen worked for whatever the sufferers felt able to pay, and one I knew worked with alacrity for nothing. It takes all sorts of people to make a great fire." Which statement about heroism does this paragraph reflect? Most people require payment in order to act heroically. People must learn to act heroically when in danger. Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations. Everyone tries to act heroically in dangerous situations.

Answer:

Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations

Explanation:

The speaker makes it clear that his focus in on ordinary people since he says the distinction between the rich and the poor is non existent in such a situation. Then , he makes reference to cartmen's being helpful. The speaker sets a possibility of ordinary people's being heroic because , although he has heard that some people have charged others for helping sufferers  and he thinks this can be true, he has not seen people doing so. He has seen people helping others in exchange for whatever can be given to them or even for nothing. Therefore, these deeds are heroic.

The correct answer is "Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations".

Explanation: In "The Great Fire", the narrator explains White's testimony of the  Great Chicago fire; there were accounts of men taking advantage of the situation and overcharging services for people in distress, but in other instances, there were regular people who helped for free. The everyday people who chose to help without expecting anything in return were the true heroes.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Well, you can only travel to places close to home. So think of places like restaurants, clothing stores, malls, and other things. You also do not have to do all of your shopping at one store. There is much more variety, only if you want to buy the best items you like just shop at that one store. And, yes, make sure the store is clean. Read reviews to know this.

Which statement best describes the theme of this stanza?
Airida [17]

This particular excerpt makes part of the bigger poem "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls", written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow between 1807 and 1822. In essence, this particular poem makes reference to the process of life, death and rebirth, through the image of the ocean, its movements, its activities and its effects on life. The poem is short, only three stanzas long, and most of it shows the sadness of life as it comes and then ebbs away, marking with it the time limitation on life.

In this particular excerpt of the poem, Longfellow is making reference to how natural events, like the flow of the sea, affect human beings, their lives, and links the two things, human life, and nature, by giving an almost human characteristic to the ebb and flow of the sea. This is why, the correct answer here is B: Human beings are challenged by events in the natural world.
