V. Reading the passage and decide if the following sentences are True or False.
Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the habitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread.
The fire engineers 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 damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of buildings.
Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires, which followed. If the earthquake had occured at night while people were sleeping, far fewer would haved died.
