Question

why might the author have used the word conflagration here?
(1 point)

○ to show how complicated the event was

○ to show how large the spark was

○ to show the intensity and size of the fire

○ to show how long ago the event took place

Explanation:

The word "conflagration" means a large, destructive fire. So we analyze each option:

• The first option is about complexity, not related to "conflagration".
• The second option is about the spark, but "conflagration" is about the fire, not the spark.
• The third option matches the meaning of "conflagration" as it refers to the intensity and size of the fire.
• The fourth option is about time, which has nothing to do with the meaning of "conflagration".

Answer:

C. to show the intensity and size of the fire
