Question

Complete the sequence choosing the most appropriate option:

A. Smoke billowed up between the plants.
B. ______________________________
C. Flames broke out here and there.

• A. Passengers were told to be ready to quit the ship.
• B. Everyone now knew there was a fire on board.
• C. The rising gale fanned the smouldering fire.
• D. Most people bore the shock bravely.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The rising gale fanned the smouldering fire.

Since the first sentence talks about the smoke, the second should talk about its source of origin, fire. Therefore, Option C is correct. The rest of the options describe the passengers reaction to the fire, hence these are inappropriate.
