Which supporting detail from The Great Fire conveys the main idea that firefighters alone were not able to contain the fire?

Firefighters asked spectators to help, and many did.

Explanation:

According to the text of the "Great Fire", there was an outbreak of fire which overwhelmed firefighters because of the winds which made the flames to be fierce and uncontrollable.

Fires were common in those days and people were used to seeing fires so they were not in panic and when the fire overwhelmed the firefighters, they enlisted the help of spectators and they obliged.

even though there may be variations in human emotions over time, the poem “ a contribution to statistics” by wislawa symborska suggests that the only unchangeable characteristic is mortality.

the author poses a distinction between the approximate and non-approximate numbers which correspond to our need for certainty in life and the difficulty of achieving it. our efforts to measure the exact often fail because the world is not always clearly structured .the poem seems to imply   that the only thing that is certain and has an exact number is death.
