II. Read the text and answer the questions.
Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake
in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the people in Tokyo were cooking their meals.
Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake and the fire broke out everywhere, It was
impossible to use fire fighting equipment as most of the water pipes have burst. As a result, ninety per cent of the
damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings.
Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires which followed. If the earthquake had
occurred at night while people were sleeping, far fewer would have died.
1. Where did the earthquake occur?
2. How many people died in the earthquake?
3. When did the earthquake begin?
4. Was most of the damage caused by the collapse of the buildings?
