-Read the Following Passage then Choose the Correct Answer of the Questions below:
One of the most hazardous conditions a firefighter will ever encounter is a backdraft (also
known as a smoke explosion). It can occur in the hot-smoldering phase of a fire when burning is
incomplete and there is not enough oxygen to sustain the fire. Unburned carbon particles and
other flammable products, combined with the intense heat, may cause instantaneous combustion
if more oxygen reaches the fire. Firefighter should be aware of the conditions that indicate the
possibility for a backdraft to occur. When there is a lack of oxygen during a fire, the smoke
becomes filled with carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide and turns dense gray or black. Other
warning signs of a potential backdraft are little or no visible flame, excessive heat, smoke
leaving the building in puffs, muffled sounds and smoke-stained windows. Proper ventilation
will make a backdraft less likely. Opening a room or building at the highest point allows heated
gases and smoke to be released gradually. However, suddenly breaking a window or opening a
door is a mistake, because it allows oxygen to rush in, causing an explosion.

(a) there is not enough oxygen for breathing

(a) carry an oxygen tank
(b) open a door to allow gases to escape
(c) make an opening at the top of the building
(d) break a window to release carbon
particles
5. When compared with a hot, smoldering fire, a fire with visible, high reaching flames --------------------------------.
(a) has more oxygen available for combustion
