Which excerpt from The Great Fire is a counterexample of the theme that people have the capacity to act selflessly during disast

ers?
"I saw a great many kindly acts done as we moved along," White would recall almost fondly.
I heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load.
The wind had increased in velocity, and burning chunks of wood were being carried for many blocks before they fell to earth.
In addition to the tiny shacks, substantial wood, brick, and stone structures were begun as well, and an army of workers emerged to do the job.

The correct answer is alternative one.

In the first excerpt, White has affectionate memories about the good-hearted and thoughtful performances that people executed at the time they moved forward. As a consequence, the passage is a good example that human beings possesss the ability to behave in a benevolent and self-sacrificing manner in the course of a catastrophe.

Answer: Every day, we make hundreds of choices.

Explanation: We choose what to wear, what to do when we get home from work or school, and how to respond when someone makes fun of us. Sometimes we also make big decision, such as what kind of school to go to, what career to pursue, whether to get married, and whether to have a child. Sometimes people make decisions that are even bigger than these because the decisions affect hundreds or millions of people - decisions about war and peace or about changes in the laws. Even if we ourselves don't make such big decisions, we need to understand how they are made. Most of the time, we make these choices without thinking. For small, routine choices such as how to respond when your friend starts a conversation with you, you do not need to think. You have learned how to talk and how to behave in a friendly way without thinking at all, and your habits serve you well. You could behave differently than you do, of course, but your behavior is probably fine as it is. In other cases, though, you THINK about your decisions, from what to wear in the morning to how to spend your money. Sometimes people make choices without thinking when they really ought to think a bit. For example, we sometimes say things that hurt people's feelings and then we feel bad for having said them. Can you think of other examples of things we do because we didn't think first? WHEN it is worth thinking about decisions and, mostly, HOW to think about them once you start thinking. It will teach by example. You will be given a problem about decision making. First, think about the problem and try to answer it. You can discuss the problem with someone else. Then turn the page and look at the answer carefully. Where do these answers come from, and why are they right? The answers come from a field of study called decision theory. It is taught in colleges and graduate schools. It is sometimes used as a way of making very important decisions such as whether to have surgery or where to locate an airport. People who study decision theory and write about agree about some things and disagree about others.
