II. Read the following passage and do the tasks below: (t 58 sbt)
Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes were destroyed as
result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when
the inhabitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were
overturned as soon as the earthquake 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 ninety percent of the damage was caused by fair rather than by the
collapse of the buidings. Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but
in the fires, which followed. If the earthquake had occurred at night while people were
sleeping, far fewer would have died.
