Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. When William Lee reached Goll's drugstore, he was gasping for air and frantic. In a breat

hless voice, Lee demanded the key to the alarm box that was mounted on the outside of the store. Bruno Goll refused to hand it over, insisting that a fire truck had already passed. Lee had no time to argue with Goll. He was too concerned about the safety of his family, so he hurried back to them almost immediately. He got there just in time to see the fire taking hold of his neighbor's shed and fence, while the breeze blew a rain fire on his property. Two things were very clear to Lee: first, despite what Goll had said, no fire engines had arrived, and, second, his house was about to catch fire. Why was William Lee frantic and breathless when he first arrived at Goll’s drugstore?
A. He was angry at the owner for refusing to sound the alarm and for lying about the fire engines.
B. He was confused about who had informed the firefighters of the fire and why there were trucks driving by.
C. He knew there was a fire burning near his home, and he wanted to sound the alarm as quickly as possible.
D. He knew that the fire would be massive and firefighters would not be able to control the flames.

C. He knew there was a fire burning near his home, and he wanted to sound the alarm as quickly as possible.

Explanation:

"The Great Fire" written by Jim Murphy tells the story of a fire that ravages the city of Chicago. This story was based on the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 where most of the city of Chicago was destroyed by the fire that lasted for thirty hours. William Lee is the neighbor of the O'Learys from where the fire initially started. He had seen the fire and wanted to sound the fire alarm as soon as possible. So, he come racing frantically to the shop to try to sound the alarm at the store but the owner of the store, Bruno Goll refused to hand the key over to him.

Fuel crisis of nepal in two paragraphs<br><br>​
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Nepal’s fuel supplies – mainly coming from the Indian Oil Corporation – have been largely cut off. India claims its trucks are reluctant to cross the border because of turmoil in the region, but many Nepalis are convinced that India is deliberately blockading the country, trying to convince Kathmandu to rewrite the constitution, the Financial Times reported last week.

Cordaid project sites in Rasuwa district, about 3.5 hours drive from Kathmandu, have been affected by the blockade and fuel shortage. Staff members of Cordaid and partner organizations have not been able to visit the area and monitor relief operations on a regular basis. They are covering long distances by foot to do their work in the field.

The last two weeks we haven’t been able to send trucks to sites with emergency items (WASH materials) to the project sites in Rasuwa. The first phase of the emergency recovery project is supposed to end by 25th of October, but due to the situation this is likeley to be postponed.

Cordaid driver Anil Tamang: “I got 20 litres of fuel last week, after queuing for 6 hours. But now gas stations have been closed completely.” Cordaid continues to conduct risk assessments in two villages in Rasuwa district. We can only do this, because most of the trainers, community mobilizers and community members are walking long distances to reach the villages.

Fuel shortages severely hit Nepal’s economy. The beginning of October is the start of the tourist season, an important source of income for the country. But restaurants are closing due to shortage of cooking gas and essential supplies. The fuel crisis affects the many trade fairs and annual exhibitions that come with the big festival of dasain, starting on October 16th. Moreover, the many thousands who directly depend on their daily earnings, are losing their daily bread as a result of the blockades
