What started the great Chicago fire

English

GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

In October 1871 dry weather and an abundance of wooden buildings, streets and sidewalks made Chicago vulnerable to fire. Since this happened it was a cause to to start a fire instantly. It was started in Catherine O Learys Barn.

The fire began in a small barn owned by the O'Leary family in the southwest section of the city. No one is quite sure how the fire began. There are lots of other stories explaining the start of the fire including one about men gambling in the barn, someone stealing milk from the barn, and even one about a meteor shower. Conditions in Chicago were perfect for a large fire. There had been a long drought before the fire and the city was very dry. Most buildings were made out of wood, causing it too to expand.

Hopes this helps you!

Which theme best supports Polonius and Claudius when speaking of Hamlet in Act II, Scene II? *
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Insanity

Explanation:

In Act II and Scene II of Hamlet, we see Polonius and Claudius talking about the possibility that Hamlet is crazy, insane. Polonius is sure of this insanity because he has already seen Hamlet with strange behaviors, like walking alone in the gallery for hours and besides, he read a note that Hamlet sent to Ophelia that reinforced the impression of madness that the youth possessed.

Claudius is hearing everything clearly and has some doubts about Hamlet's madness. The whole conversation took place in the presence of Hamlet's mother, who believes that the son may have gone mad because of the grief in the father's death and the mother's marriage to the man who occupied Hamlet's father's throne.

rodikova [14]
I believe that the answer is D. The general purpose of the speech is that you provide an argument for a topic with your support and provide counters to the counter arguments for the topic itself.  Your main purpose should be to prove the audience believe that you are correct in what you are explaining and talking about.

What word best fits this sentience? ----, the constitution breaks the U.S. Government into three branches. Pick one of the four
Airida [17]

Answer:

B). Instead

Explanation:

As per the question, the most appropriate word to complete the given sentence would be 'instead.' Thus, the complete sentence reads as:

'Instead, the constitution breaks the U.S. Government into three branches.'

<u>It offers a complete and accomplished meaning. It implies that 'in comparison to the present two branches of the federal government, the constitution instead divides the United States Govt. three equal yet independent branches</u>.' The other word fails to go as per the context of the sentence and convey an incomplete thought as they either include a subordinating conjunction('although', 'before') or require contextual background(as 'in conclusion'). Thus, <u>option</u> <u>B</u> is the correct answer.
