Read this excerpt from the great fire. "i saw a great many kindly acts done as we moved along," white would recall almost fondly. "the poor the rich, and the rich the poor (if anybody could be called rich at such a time) to get on with their loads. i heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load. very likely it was so, but those cases did not come under my own notice. it did come under my notice that some cartmen worked for whatever the sufferers felt able to pay, and one i knew worked with alacrity for nothing. it takes all sorts of people to make a great fire." which statement about heroism does this paragraph reflect? most people require payment in order to act heroically. people must learn to act heroically when in danger. ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations. everyone tries to act heroically in dangerous situations.

The correct answer is "Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations".

Explanation: In "The Great Fire", the narrator explains White's testimony of the  Great Chicago fire; there were accounts of men taking advantage of the situation and overcharging services for people in distress, but in other instances, there were regular people who helped for free. The everyday people who chose to help without expecting anything in return were the true heroes.

Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations

Explanation:

The speaker makes it clear that his focus in on ordinary people since he says the distinction between the rich and the poor is non existent in such a situation. Then , he makes reference to cartmen's being helpful. The speaker sets a possibility of ordinary people's being heroic because , although he has heard that some people have charged others for helping sufferers  and he thinks this can be true, he has not seen people doing so. He has seen people helping others in exchange for whatever can be given to them or even for nothing. Therefore, these deeds are heroic.
