Answer:
B. There were not enough firefighters to do all the necessary tasks.
Explanation:
We can tell from the first sentence that there was not enough help. Even without knowing any background on the story, we know there was just a thin circle of engines around the fire. In order to deprive the fuel of fire, the firefighters asked spectators to help by chopping up fences and sidewalks. This way the fire fighters could focus on the engines.
The mood is mostly upbeat. It is also very calming, in the background, there are some girls singing a smooth melody! What I mean by upbeat is that the song use has good instruments to get a good rhythm. While listening to the song you would most likely feel like you would want to move around. It is not the type of song to make you want to "Do the Harlem Shake". The song is also particularly old.

This happened to me a few years ago when I was on holiday in Meia Praia, a small town near the beach in Brazil.
My boyfriend and I wanted to go walking through the forest because it was a wonderful sunny day. We started walking early in the morning. While we were walking we listened to a strange sound several times, but we didn´t care about it. As we were nearer the beach which was on the coast of the Island, that sound was stronger. In the middle of our way to the beach, a couple warned us about the wild monkeys which live there, but we didn´t care about it, neither.
When we were just some meters from the beach, we felt that noise behind us and at the same time a big monkey appeared in front of us. It was a harmless animal which made a strong noise because it was afraid of people. Unfortunately, we didn´t know that these species lived there and we could have made him to get annoy.
Since then, we learned to pay attention to the signs of nature.
Answer: A. Different emotional states affect people’s honesty.
This excerpt states that when people experience different emotional states, their levels of honesty fluctuate too. When people are anxious, stressed out due to the expectations of others, or angry, they are more likely to be dishonest. Therefore, theft and other similar behaviours increase around holidays that rely on these feelings, such as Christmas and Valentine's Day. However, when people are more cheerful and relaxed, dishonest behaviour becomes less common.
