Hannah is writing an essay about the human errors that were made during the Chicago fire of 1871. Several key human errors contr

ibuted to the spread of the Chicago fire of 1871. When the blaze first began, Bruno Goll refused to sound the first alarm, which was housed in his drugstore. Later, at the courthouse, Mathias Schaffer instructed his assistant, William J. Brown, to sound Box 342 instead of Box 319, sending firefighters toward the wrong location. When Schaffer realized his mistake, Brown flat-out refused to strike the correct box. Even after the fire, Brown was confident in his decision not to correct the mistake. Finally, as the blaze raged on, fireman John Dorsey attempted to sound a special alarm, but accidentally sounded a general alarm. This meant that additional trucks and equipment were not immediately sent out to help. Which is one extraneous detail from this passage? “Several key human errors contributed to the spread of the Chicago fire of 1871.” “Finally, as the blaze raged on, fireman John Dorsey attempted to sound a special alarm, but accidentally sounded a general alarm.” “Even after the fire, Brown was confident in his decision not to correct the mistake.” “When Schaffer realized his mistake, Brown flat-out refused to strike the correct box.”

2. Which historical development illustrates the fulfillment of Winthrops
likoan [24]

Answer:

The historical development which illustrates the fulfillment of Winthrop's argument is:

(A) Polk negotiated a compromise with the British over Oregon.

Explanation:

Between 1859 and 1872, Great Britain and the US fought a bitter war for the control of Oregon.  This war was caused by a stray pig; no wonder, the US termed it: "the Pig War."  Earlier John Winthrop had argued that the United States, the New England, was to become "a city on a hill," very conspicuous to all men.  Possession of the new land signaled an alliance with the word of God.  Failure to uphold the human part of the covenant would expose the country to ridicule.  President Polk, fighting the Pig War with Great Britain over Oregon without victory, was a sign of failure to uphold the covenant.  The country was exposed to public ridicule because the war only ended with the signing of a treaty (a form of compromise), which ceded the whole of Vancouver to Britain and then Oregon to the US.
