Answer:
Scoot was not the type to give up when in danger. She was also a brave girl.
Explanation:
In the book 'Rogue Wave', we learn of a brother and sister who went on a ride in a sailboat. This was to serve as a fulfillment of the birthday wish of the fourteen-year-old girl, Scoot. However, they were faced with danger when the boat tilted downwards because of a giant wave that left Scoot trapped in the cabin while her brother Sully managed to get out.
Scoot was not downhearted when she realized that she was trapped. She made courageous efforts to get herself out including
1. holding on to a hull
2. shouting out for her brother
3. searching for a torchlight which she used to find her way around the cabin
4. diving into the water to find her footing on the ceiling ribs, and
5. hitting hard on the window to open it up eventually.
Answer:
B. “Chicago had recently renovated its fire alarm system, making it one of the best in the nation.”
Explanation:
This sentence is the claim in the text. The rest of the paragraph unfolds reasons and evidence that support it. For example, there were watchmen in firehouses ;in diffent boxes placed around the city; and in the cupola of the Courthouse. The men in the firehouses and in the boxes , if a fire was spotted, would telegraph an alarm to the man in the Courthouse. This would ring a bell to make the alarm more reliable. Well-organised Patrols would drive around the streets to extinguish the fires. The paragraph concludes with an opinion about the fire alarm system: <em>quite speedy and efficient.</em>
