II. Read the following passage, and answer the questions that follow 
Nearly 100,000 people were killed and half a million homes were destroyed as a result of an 
earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the habitants of 
Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the 
earth began to shake. As a 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 caused by fire instead of by the collapse of buildings.
