Read the passage carefully and answer the questions (75-82) that follow by choosing the best alternative:

Firefighters are often asked to speak to school and community groups about the importance of fire safety, particularly fire prevention and detection. Because smoke detectors reduce the risk of dying in a fire by half, firefighters often provide audiences with information on how to install these protective devices in their homes.

Specifically, they tell them these things: A smoke detector should be placed on each floor of a home. While sleeping, people are in particular danger of an emergent fire, and there must be a detector outside each sleeping area. A good site for a detector would be a hallway that runs between living spaces and bedrooms.

Because of the dead-air space that might be missed by turbulent hot air bouncing around above a fire, smoke detectors should be installed either on the ceiling at least four inches from the nearest wall, or high on a wall at least four, but no further than twelve, inches from the ceiling.

Detectors should not be mounted near windows, exterior doors, or other places where drafts might direct the smoke away from the unit. Nor should they be placed in kitchens and garages, where cooking and gas fumes are likely to cause false alarms.

Choose the correct option:

1

2. 50% better chance of preventing a fire.
3. 75% better chance of detecting a hidden fire.
4. 100% better chance of not being injured in a fire.

79. A smoke detector should not be installed near a window, because:

1. Outside fumes may trigger a false alarm.
2. A draft may create dead-air space.
3. A draft may pull smoke away from the detector.
4. Outside noises may muffle the sound of the detector.

1. Install smoke detectors in the homes of residents in the community.
