Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Imagining this scenario, I feel like being in the story and definitely I will be afraid and panicking. I think this is a scenario of a fire outbreak and the solvent that caused the fire is highly inflammable.  

Explanation:

From the excerpt, we can deduce that the event taking place is a fire outbreak. The voice that screamed "Fire!" reveals that there was an outbreak. Also, the way the solvent spread depicts that the solvent is highly inflammable and was engulfing even the kitchen door.

The events of fire outbreak always cause fear and panic. So, imagining myself being in the story, I will definitely be afraid.
