Explanation:

• Question 6: Using a cover (to smother the fire by cutting off oxygen) and baking soda (small grease fires) are valid. Water should not be used on grease fires as it can cause the fire to spread. So A and B are correct.
• Question 7: Carbon dioxide extinguishers are for Class B (flammable liquids/gases) and Class C (energized electrical equipment) fires.
• Question 8: The steps to operate a fire extinguisher are Pull (pin), Aim, Squeeze (handle), and Sweep (from side - to - side).
• Question 9: RACE stands for Rescue (people in danger), Alarm (activate fire alarm), Contain (the fire by closing doors), Extinguish (if safe to do so).
• Question 10: The fire triangle consists of Fuel, Oxygen, and Ignition source.
