Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers.
A tsunami is a natural disaster more devastating than earthquakes, tornadoes or any other disaster you can think of. Tsunami is a Japanese word that means harbor wave. A tsunami happens when huge waves are formed after something under the ocean occurs to make these large waves form. Erupting volcanoes can also cause tsunamis to occur. The waves start in one area but they move quickly in all different directions once the tsunami begins. Tsunamis begin as an under the water earthquake. The force of the earth moving causes the water to move and produce huge waves. Waves from tsunami cam travel through the water as fast as 500 miles per hour. As they approach the coast, they continue to grow in size before smashing down on the cities and towns along the coastline. These waves can often be as high as 100 feet, causing much destruction.

Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes (1) destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon (2) when many people of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the (3) earth began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and (4) quickly spread. The fire engines were prevented for going to help as many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use fire fighting equipment (5) because most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by the (6) fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings. Most of those (7) who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires, which followed. If the earthquake had occurred (8) at night while people were sleeping, far fewer would have died
