Answer 1

Answer:

When the writer heard the word, 'fire' he got up hysterically.

Explanation:

• When he got up, he found the whole house was burning in the fire.
• He ran straight to the stairs because the stairs led to the way out.  
• He couldn't see anything due to fire and smoke and fell on the stairs.
• The crowd standing outside appreciated him for coming out safe and sound.
