Answers
Here is the explanation of each option for being the inapt or apt option.
(1) It was difficult to extinguish it because the fire was too hot.
Here, the use of pronoun 'it' before the actual noun for which it is being used is improper.
(2) The fire was difficult to extinguish because it was too hot.
This statement is correct in form and exhibits a proper structure. The utilization of conjunction 'because' at the right place, also makes the statement clear in meaning.
(3) The hot fire made it difficult to extinguish it.
The use of words is very jumbled as we can notice no certain sequence of explanation is being followed in the statement.
(4) The sentence is correct as written.
No, option (2) is apt instead of the written statement. This is because the subject is missing in the first part- before the conjunction- which interferes with the structure of the statement making it unclear.
Answer: (2) The fire was difficult to extinguish because it was too hot.
