Question No - 1
Read the following passage, then answer the questions: Today, in most industrialized countries in the world, buildings are designed to withstand various, unexpected natural disasters. Safety measures are installed in modern-day designs to help contain the spread of fire, and design engineers make sure newer structures are deliberately planned to hold against the violent shifting of the earth during an unexpected earthquake. However, such deliberate design and planning was not the case during the early 1900s. On April 18, 1906, in the morning hours of the day, the citizens of San Francisco, California, were witnesses to an earthquake so monumental. The tremors were felt as far north as Oregon. Neither the city nor its people were prepared for what would happen next: the devastations of their city. The actual earthquake only lasted two minutes. Of course, the violent tremors must have seemed much longer to the actual eyewitnesses, but the fires that came after the earthquake lasted for nearly three days. The enormous loss from the disaster included the lives of at least five hundred people, and an estimated three thousand acres of the city were destroyed. This disaster is often called simply the "Great Quake" because of the vast destruction that occurred. Choose the correct answer from a, b,cord: 1)The best sentence that can summarises the last paragraph is........................
1_The kinds of earthquakes that happened in San Francisco
2_The duration and the effects of San Francisco earthquake
3_The preparation the citizens of San Francisco made to face
