Explanation:
The given passage is from the short personal narrative of Emma M. Burke about her experience during the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. This narrative is just a general idea of how devastating the disaster was, which is not comprehensible in words.

Everyone, be it <u><em>"Americans, Japanese, Negroes, Chinese and all sorts and degrees of men, women, and children" </em></u>were lined up for cold water. And despite everyone's eagerness to get their hands on the cold water, the <u>author's husband made the man wait in line like everyone else</u>, for they are all in the same situation and must abide by the rules.
