Santana is writing an essay on the Chicago fire of 1871,
and her thesis statement is below.
Which detail from Jim Murphy's The Great Fire best
supports this thesis?

the chaos, true everyday heroes emerged.
"White's escape took him four miles outside of the city to
an unoccupied cottage his brother owned."
"One of the first business structures up and open was
William Kerfoot's real estate office."
"Claire and her family continued down the street when 'a
short, rough man grabbed at my bundle [but l] would not
let it go."
"It did come under my notice that some cartmen worked
for whatever the sufferers felt able to pay, and one!
knew worked with alacrity for nothing."

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.
