II. Read the following passage, and answer the questions that follow
Nearly 100,000 people were killed and half a million homes were destroyed as a result of an
carthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The carthquake began a minute before noon when the habitants of
Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overtumed as soon as the
earth began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire
engines were prevented from poing to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was
impossible to use fire-fighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently.
over 90% of the damage was caused by fire instead of by the collapse of buildings.
