The Great Fire of London in 1666 destroyed most of the medieval city. The rules drawn up for rebuilding required brick or stone in place of timber, and the streets were widened. Those rules are one reason that later fires never spread as that one had.

- A. Brick or stone construction instead of timber, together with wider streets.Correct
- B. That the medieval city be rebuilt exactly as it had been.
- C. That timber be used for all new houses.
- D. That residents move out of the city.
Answer: A. Brick or stone construction instead of timber, together with wider streets.

- C. That timber be used for all new houses.
- Timber was what the rules replaced.
- D. That residents move out of the city.
- Nothing about residents moving appears in the text.
