Answer:

The best option is C) by clearly explaining the reasons for the misleading alarm and its impact.

Explanation:

This excerpt of "The Great Fire" has a cause-and-effect structure which helps readers understand why there was an ineffective response by firefighters. We are told that one man, Schaffer, made the first mistake by striking a different box than would be best. He, however, realized that was not the proper one, and finally ordered box 319 to be struck. The second mistake, then, comes from Schaffer's assistant, William. He chooses not to do as he is told, even though the order came from his superior. His arrogance confuses firefighters, since he strikes the wrong box. The consequence was that the fire was not properly fought, burning on for several deadly minutes since companies didn't know what to do.

slava [35]

The play Romeo and Juliet opens with a fight scene between the servants of the Montagues and Capulets. The purpose of this scene is to demonstrate how deep the hatred goes between the families. It's not just blood relatives fighting but any member of the household and its staff. Even the governing body of Verona, Prince Escalus, has trouble controlling the feud. By starting with their "new mutiny" that fuels the "ancient grudge", it develops the obstacle that Romeo and Juliet must overcome if they want to be together.
