1. Read the following passage, complete the statements by choosing the correct option.
The fire which broke out in a Colaba guest house recently shows that elementary precautions against fire hazards are not being taken in the city. Rooms are built on mezzanine floors without providing either windows or ventilations. Often, there is no separate exit in these structures which are added on to buildings situated in narrow lanes in highly congested areas. Fortunately, the fire at Colaba broke out in the afternoon when most of the guests were out. Otherwise, the poisonous fumes from the synthetic material within would have suffocated and killed scores of people. The fire could have spread to the entire building which is full of wooden beams and stair cases. Such scandalous fire traps invariably endanger the lives of the fire-fighting staff as well. What is worse, even newly constructed buildings in Mumbai ignore fire-safety norms. Clearly, the municipal staff is not doing its duty. Ironically, the building which caught fire in Colaba, houses an architects office. Had it gone up in flames, the tragedy would have been doubly compounded because society looks up to these professionals for guidance and norms. Unfortunately, with the Municipal Corporation also proving increasingly incapable ofprotecting citizen's interests, it is now upto the people to come together and oppose illegal constructions in their areas.
