All of the following were reasons that the fire department could not respond to the fires right away EXCEPT

• the telephone and telegraph systems were disrupted

• there was no organization or communication

• the fire department was destroyed in the earthquake

• the streets of San Francisco were piled high with the debris of fallen walls

Jack London, the author, went to San Francisco because

• he lived in the heart of the city

• he was asked to write an account of what happened

• he wanted to mine for gold

• he was there to film videos of the wreckage

Why did they use dynamite to contain the fire?

• to stop the spread of the fire

• to get rid of what was left of the city

• the fire department ran out of water

• they didn't use dynamite to contain the fire

Why does London use the subheading “The Doomed City” to describe San Francisco?

• The zombie apocalypse was imminent.

• There was a major change to the city in a short period of time through an earthquake and a fire.

• The fire was very small.

• It was the nickname he had for San Francisco after the gold rush failed.
