Read this excerpt from the great fire. as the rest of the city went about its business, fireman dorsey was racing through the streets to the closest signal box, which happened to be at goll's drugstore. he opened the small door on the box and used his thumb to pull down the lever. dorsey then headed back to the scene of the fire, not realizing that he'd made a mistake — he had forgotten to pull down the lever four times, a special signal that would have made it a true second alarm. at the courthouse, schaffer and brown would hear dorsey's alarm, but, assuming it was simply another signal telling them about the original fire, they failed to call out more engines. how does this excerpt support the main idea of the passage? a) it illustrates how many mistakes firefighter dorsey made during the course of the fire. b) it demonstrates how the city’s fire alarm system and signal boxes worked. c) it describes one of the key mistakes that prevented the fire from being extinguished sooner. d) it highlights the fact that bruno goll was responsible for the fire and stopped it from being put out.

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
