True because Gasoline or diesel fuel are petroleum based end products, thus it is oil. Water don't mix with oil and oil has the tendency to float on the top of water allowing the fuel to remain ignited. If you try to put water on a fuel fire, you would actually cause the fire to spread, because the oil is going to go immediately to the top of the water, and go where it goes. Water will only move the fuel around, spreading the fuel fire and causing more damage. Better smother the fire with something non-flammable such as a safety blanket, flour, baking soda, soil, or use a proper fire extinguisher.

Read the excerpt from The Secret Garden:

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$beinggreat78~here~to~help!$

The answer is A. <u>Out of control.</u>

<h3>Here are the context clues....</h3>

1st Context Clue

"'Poor child!' Once a lady did that I screamed out loud and bit her hand. She was so frightened she ran away."

2nd Context Clue

"She thought you had gone mad like a dog." <em>said Mary, not at all admiringly.</em>

<h3>Meanings</h3>

<em>Gone mad</em> means to go insane.

<em>Biting someone's hand </em>is not a good thing to do.

<h3>With that information...</h3>

We can come to a conclusion that the right choice would be A. Out of control.

Also, The Secret Garden is a good book by Frances Hodgson Burnett, I have read the whole book and would recommend it to others.
