QUESTION VI. Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D):
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 inhabitants of
Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves overturned as soon as the earth
began to shake. As the result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines
were prevented from going 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 cause 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.
