Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. As the days crept by, more and more people shook off their despondency and began to rebuild their homes and businesses. The energy to start all over seemed to be catching. Take the case of Wilbur Storey, the owner of the Chicago Times newspaper. Immediately after the destruction of his business, he murmured, "The Times is dead. Chicago is gone, and I'm all through." Storey might well have given up entirely, except that all around him he saw fellow newspapermen scrambling to rent space and find type and paper. Soon, he, too, was filled with a new determination; Storey borrowed money from friends, dug out some old type from his barn, and had the Times publishing again on October 18. Which statement best reflects the theme of this paragraph? People were inspired only by their friends. Many people gave up hope after the fire. Business competition increased following the fire. People inspired one another to rebuild after the fire.
