Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. Which statement best describes the theme of this
paragraph?
When the Waterworks burned down at around three in
the morning, the pumping machines went dead, and the
water supply to the city stopped. The men at the Tribune
would do their best to stamp out and smother the burning
embers that landed on the roof, but eventually, the fire
won out. The shock felt by White and other citizens
when they learned the Tribune was a gutted skeleton
was captured perfectly by Charles Mackintosh. After
describing at great length how solid and fireproof the
Tribune Building was, Mackintosh paused and, with a
sad sigh, he concluded, "That is, it was fireproof up to
the date of its destruction."
The fire was so fierce that it destroyed everything in
its path.
O Certain buildings were spared because they were
fireproof.
O Some structures were spared by the fire because
their owners were prepared.
O Most people did not even try to stop the fire because
it was so massive.
