What is the author’s MAIN point in paragraph 4?
Despite efforts to douse the fire with water, the landfill continued to burn. Experts were brought in to help with the situation. Readings of the smoke coming from the landfill determined that burning coal was indeed producing some of the smoke. The warning came too late, though. Local firefighters poured thousands of gallons of water into the landfill, but within a few days the fire would always flare up again. The fire had already started burning into the Buck Mountain anthracite coal seam lying underneath Centralia, and no one could stop it. Between 1962 and 1978, state and federal governments spent $3.3 million on unsuccessful efforts to control the fire.
A. The government spent too much money trying to control the fire.
B. The efforts to stop the fire were unsuccessful because it had already reached the anthracite coal lying below the town.
C. The local firefighters did not try hard enough to control the fire.
D. The fire was burning for a long time before anyone realized the severity of the situation the town faced.

Read this excerpt from “what i hope to leave behind.” for a number of years it took so much vitality to keep the home going, and that home represented so many different kinds of activities, that none of us had any urge to go outside of this sphere. if “what i hope to leave behind” was the subject of a class discussion, why might paraphrasing this sentence be ? you could analyze the key themes while also staying true to the original language. you could summarize the key ideas, which would shorten the length of the excerpt. you could use your own ideas and concepts, which would add important information. you could rephrase it in your own words, which might clarify the meaning of the excerpt.
