(22)1/ 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 engines 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
