Which of the following is a way of preventing fires at home?
xeze [42]
It would be B or C. I'm SURE it would be C though.
"A" means to cause air to enter and circulate freely in (a room, building, etc.), which fire NEEDS air in order to be alive, so that would be BAD. "D" is saying to store guns in locked cabinets... which doesn't really make sense.
