PLEASE HELP Hannah wrote the paragraph below about human errors that were made during the Chicago fire of 1871. Several key human errors contributed to the spread of the Chicago fire of 1871. When the blaze first began, Bruno Goll refused to sound the first alarm, which was housed in his drugstore. Later, at the courthouse, Mathias Schaffer instructed his assistant, William J. Brown, to sound Box 342 instead of Box 319, sending firefighters toward the wrong location. When Schaffer realized his mistake, Brown flat-out refused to strike the correct box. Even after the fire, Brown was confident in his decision not to correct the mistake. Finally, as the blaze raged on, fireman John Dorsey attempted to sound a special alarm, but accidentally sounded a general alarm. This meant that additional trucks and equipment were not immediately sent out to help.

Which quotation from Jim Murphy’s The Great Fire could Hannah add to make her paragraph stronger?

A. "The fire was under full headway . . . before the engines arrived, and what could be done?" Chamberlin noted with concern.

B. Brown was so stubborn about his decision that even after the fire he was able to write arrogantly in a letter that “I am still standing the watch that burned Chicago.”

C. “Turn in a second alarm!” [Chief Marshal Robert] Williams ordered Dorsey. “This is going to spread!” A second alarm would bring in additional engines and men.

D. When the engines and hoses were where he wanted them, [Chief Marshal Robert] Williams turned to one crew and said, “Now, hang on to her here!”
