Answer 1

Answer:

C.The sparks would represent creating a disturbance in the peace.

Explanation:

We know that chestnut wood gives off sparks. And we also know that sparks are sometimes used as a symbol for fights or conflict. Therefore, the most likely answer is that the Council Fire should not be started using chestnut wood because it is likely to create sparks that would represent a disturbance in the Council's peace.
