What is the author’s MAIN point in paragraph 4? Despite efforts to douse the fire with water, the landfill continued to burn. Experts were brought in to help with the situation. Readings of the smoke coming from the landfill determined that burning coal was indeed producing some of the smoke. The warning came too late, though. Local firefighters poured thousands of gallons of water into the landfill, but within a few days the fire would always flare up again. The fire had already started burning into the Buck Mountain anthracite coal seam lying underneath Centralia, and no one could stop it. Between 1962 and 1978, state and federal governments spent $3.3 million on unsuccessful efforts to control the fire.

A. The government spent too much money trying to control the fire.

B. The efforts to stop the fire were unsuccessful because it had already reached the anthracite coal lying below the town.

C. The local firefighters did not try hard enough to control the fire.

D. The fire was burning for a long time before anyone realized the severity of the situation the town faced.
