Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Tim is writing an essay on the Chicago fire of 1871, and his thesis statement is below. After the fire started, several people made key mistakes that allowed the fire to rapidly spread.

Which detail from Jim Murphy’s The Great Fire best supports this thesis?

“Chamberlin's distaste for the area and its inhabitants was shared by a great many people living in the city's wealthier sections and would go a long way toward fixing the blame for the Great Fire.”

“A few minutes after the second man hurried away, Goll took off his apron, carefully extinguished the store's gaslights, and left, locking the door behind him. Like thousands of other people, he was on his way to De Koven Street to watch the fire.”

“For added security, the giant Courthouse bell was also rung. Because of the drought, special Insurance Patrols had been organized and Benjamin Bullwinkle was appointed to head them.”

“When they heard Box 342 rung, however, they assumed the fire was out of their territory and unhitched the horses. Only two fire companies were not fooled by the misleading alarm.”

“When they heard Box 342 rung, however, they assumed the fire was out of their territory and unhitched the horses. Only two fire companies were not fooled by the misleading alarm.”

Explanation:

In his thesis statement, Tim says that people acted incorrectly during the fire and made several mistakes which helped the incent to increase in proportion by spreading more and more intensely and quickly. The detail that supports this statement and shows evidence of these errors is that which shows that the firefighters erred in reading the sign they received and thought that the fire was not in the territory in which they were located, so they unhitched the horses, which prevented their quick and efficient action in fighting fire.
