Multiple Choice

Managers of some public lands now understand the importance of fire in the cycles of nature. When a lightning fire poses no danger to people or buildings, some public agencies now let it burn. Many forests that have not been allowed to burn for decades contain dangerous amounts of fuel. A lightning strike in such a forest could lead to a big, hot, dangerous fire. Suppressing fire in other environments, such as grasslands, has also led to undesirable changes. The best answer to these problems appears to be to fight fire with fire. Land managers use prescribed fire, carefully planned burns that bring about desirable changes.

Which words from the text best help the reader understand the meaning of 36 “suppressing”

• “now understand the importance of fire”

• “carefully planned burns”

• “have not been allowed to burn”

• “a lightning fire poses no danger”
