Answer:
While I was smoking my cigar, a fire engine came roaring around the corner.
Explanation:
In the third option it's showing the time when the fire engine came and that too in correct form of words.
Let's read the text again...
My grandfather the fisherman always told me that the best way to communicate with fish is to drop them a line.
There are three phrases that help us to understand the pun in the text: The grandfather is a fisherman, it means his job is to catch fish, by communicate he means to make the fish come closer, and by drop them a line he means the fishing rod thread.
Taking the above into account the correct answers are:
A.“communicate” and “drop them a line”
B.The pun plays on a phrase that means both to send a note and to attempt to catch a fish.
1. Temperatures RISE in the summer.
2. The fire REACHED the edge of the city.
3. It's BITTERLY cold outside.
4. He WARNED us to stay inside.
5. The hurricane HIT the coast. (I am like 99% sure on this one)
6. The STRONG winds caused problems. (Also like 99% sure)
7. Power LINES were on the ground.
8. The city took many years to RECOVER from the disaster.
I was thinking between either C or D but D seems to make more sense to me.
