Hannah is writing an essay about the human errors that were made during the Chicago fire of 1871.

Several key human errors contributed to the spread of the Chicago fire of 1871. When the blaze first began, Bruno Goll refused to sound the first alarm, which was housed in his drugstore. Later, at the courthouse, Mathias Schaffer instructed his assistant, William J. Brown, to sound Box 342 instead of Box 319, sending firefighters toward the wrong location. When Schaffer realized his mistake, Brown flat-out refused to strike the correct box. Even after the fire, Brown was confident in his decision not to correct the mistake. Finally, as the blaze raged on, fireman John Dorsey attempted to sound a special alarm, but accidentally sounded a general alarm. This meant that additional trucks and equipment were not immediately sent out to help.

Which is one extraneous detail from this passage?

Read the excerpt from "annabel lee," by edgar allan poe. and this was the reason that, long ago, in this kingdom by the sea, a wind blew out of a cloud, chilling my beautiful annabel lee; so that her highborn kinsmen came and bore her away from me, to shut her up in a sepulchre in this kingdom by the sea. how does the rhythm of the excerpt support the theme of the poem? the rhythm changes on the phrase “a kingdom by the sea,” emphasizing poe’s distrust of a monarchy. the rhythm changes on the phrase “bore her away from me,” emphasizing poe’s desire to be reunited the rhythm changes on the words “chilling” and “sepulchre,” emphasizing poe’s complaint about unexpected death. the rhythm changes on the words “lee” and “me,” emphasizing poe’s fear that his bond with his love is fragile.
