By Sara Malm PUBLISHED: 09:58 EST, 25 March 2013 | UPDATED: 13:37 EST, 25 March 2013 Over one hundred firefighters are battling to bring a major blaze under control in south London. The fire in Walworth Town Hall, Southwark, broke out at 12.30pm and spread rapidly through the building, which contains a library, a one-stop council shop and a local history museum.

answer:South London, as emergency services work tirelessly to extinguish the fire. The London Fire Brigade quickly responded to the scene, deploying 20 fire engines from across the city to help contain the inferno. A spokesperson for the fire service said that the building's roof had been severely damaged, but crews were working hard to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby structures. Eyewitnesses in the area described a chaotic scene, with thick, black smoke billowing out of the historic Town Hall building, as the fire took hold. "It was incredible, like something out of a disaster movie," said one local resident, who had been in the area when the fire began. "We could see flames shooting out from the windows, and the smoke was so thick it blocked out the sun." Firefighters faced numerous challenges as they battled the blaze, including a lack of water pressure in the area, which hampered their efforts to douse the flames. Additionally, concerns over the potential collapse of the building's roof forced crews to work cautiously and prioritize the safety of their team members. As emergency services continued to tackle the fire, local officials and community members gathered at the scene expressed their gratitude to the firefighters involved. "These brave men and women have been working tirelessly to bring this terrible fire under control, and we owe them a great debt of thanks," said Southwark Council leader, Peter John. Investigators are now working to establish the cause of the fire, which remains unknown at this stage. They have cordoned off the area around the Town Hall and have enlisted the help of forensic experts and structural engineers to assess the damage caused to the building. In the meantime, residents have been advised to keep their windows and doors closed to minimize exposure to any lingering smoke still present in the area. There have been several road closures put in place to ensure the safety of the public and allow the emergency services to gain easy access to the site. Southwark Council has set up a temporary help center for those affected by the blaze, providing information on housing and other practical assistance. The historic Walworth Town Hall has stood in the area since the late 1800s and was originally built as a vestry hall for St. Mary Newington. Over the years, the building has undergone various refurbishments and additions, most recently as a center for community services, housing a beloved library, museum, and council offices. As the investigation into the cause of the fire continues, the local community remains cautiously optimistic that the listed building can be saved, with many expressing a desire for any necessary future restoration work to retain the building's original charm and character. The Southwark Council has confirmed that it will provide updates on the status of the Town Hall as more information becomes available and has already pledged to support the recovery and restoration process.

question:I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "On August 18, 1970, the NAACP filed suit against Michigan state officials, including Governor William Milliken, charging de facto public school segregation. The NAACP argued that although schools were not legally segregated, the city of Detroit and its surrounding counties had enacted policies to maintain racial segregation in public schools. The NAACP also suggested a direct relationship between unfair housing practices and educational segregation, which followed segregated neighborhoods. The District Court held all levels of government accountable for the segregation in its ruling. The Sixth Circuit Court affirmed some of the decision, holding that it was the state's responsibility to integrate across the segregated metropolitan area. The U.S. Supreme Court took up the case February 27, 1974. The subsequent Milliken v. Bradley decision had wide national influence. In a narrow decision, the Court found that schools were a subject of local control and that suburbs could not be forced to solve problems in the city's school district."? A:
answer:Question: What was the main argument of the NAACP in the lawsuit filed against Michigan state officials, and how did the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Milliken v. Bradley influence the issue of segregation in public schools? Answer: The main argument of the NAACP in the lawsuit filed against Michigan state officials was that, although schools were not legally segregated, the city of Detroit and its surrounding counties had enacted policies to maintain racial segregation in public schools. They also suggested a direct relationship between unfair housing practices and educational segregation, which followed segregated neighborhoods. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Milliken v. Bradley had a wide national influence, as it concluded that schools were a subject of local control and that suburbs could not be forced to solve problems in the city's school district. This decision was significant because it limited the ability of federal courts to enforce school desegregation outside of localized school districts.
question:Test sentence: "It happens to be true of every student in Mary's class that he is working on polarity items." Is this test sentence a correct grammatical English sentence?
answer:Yes, this test sentence is a correct grammatical English sentence. Here's a breakdown of why the sentence structure and components are grammatically correct: 1. Subject: "It" is the dummy subject in this sentence. A dummy subject is a pronoun that is used in a sentence as a grammatical placeholder without bearing any real meaning. In this case, "it" is used to introduce a statement about a group of people—namely, every student in Mary's class. 2. Verb: "happens" is the main verb in the sentence. It is conjugated correctly according to the subject "it" in the third-person singular form. The verb "happens" suggests that the action taking place is either a coincidence, fact, or occurrence. In this sentence, it implies the general fact about the students in Mary's class. 3. Infinitive: "to be" is an infinitive verb, which is not conjugated and usually follows main verbs, such as "happens." It adds a sense of definitiveness to the sentence, declaring that the statement is a fact or a certainty. 4. Subject complement: "true" is the subject complement. It is an adjective that qualifies the status of the subject, "it," and confirms the validity of the following statement. 5. Prepositional phrases: "of every student in Mary's class" and "on polarity items." The first prepositional phrase consists of "of" and "in" and clarifies the group of individuals being referred to (i.e., every student in Mary's class). The second prepositional phrase begins with "on" and indicates the topic or issue the students are working on (i.e., polarity items). 6. Relative clause: "that he is working on polarity items" is a relative clause introduced by the relative pronoun "that." This clause provides more information about the students mentioned in the prepositional phrase "of every student in Mary's class." The use of the pronoun "he" in this clause might imply that all students in the class are male or could also be interpreted as a gender-neutral pronoun, depending on the context. In conclusion, the test sentence is grammatically correct, with a proper subject-verb agreement and appropriate usage of prepositional phrases, infinitive, subject complement, and relative clause. The sentence conveys the meaning that every student in Mary's class is working on polarity items, and this fact is accurate.
