Santana is writing an essay on the Chicago fire of 1871,

and her thesis statement is below.

Which detail from Jim Murphy's The Great Fire best

supports this thesis?

As the fire spread, residents panicked and fled, but during

the chaos, true everyday heroes emerged.

"White's escape took him four miles outside of the city to

an unoccupied cottage his brother owned."

"One of the first business structures up and open was

William Kerfoot's real estate office."

"Claire and her family continued down the street when 'a

short, rough man grabbed at my bundle [but l] would not

let it go."

"It did come under my notice that some cartmen worked

for whatever the sufferers felt able to pay, and one!

knew worked with alacrity for nothing."

Answer:

"it did come under my notice that some cartmen worked for whatever he suffers felt able to pay, and one I knew worked with alacrity for nothing".

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.”

it did come under my notice that some cartmen worked for whatever he suffers felt able to pay, and one I knew worked with alacrity for nothing".
