Before the flames were finally extinguished, nearty the entreaty had been reduced toashes. Over thirteen thousand homes, fifty churches and numerous public buildings and hospitalswere lost in the blaze. For all practical purposes, London was destroyed.(5) The Great Fire was not seen as a total tragedy, however. The deplorable conditions of the cityhad been attacked by physicians and humanitarians for years before the fire; thus, with theopportunity dearly presented to create a shining new dty, artists and craftsmen from all overEngland hurried to submit their designs for the rebuilding of London. Among those who submitted plans was Sir Christopher Wren, one of England's leadingarchitects and the (10) Surveyor of London. The task of rebuilding the city was given to him. Wren realized thatthe Great Fire would not have been so damaging if the city had been better laid out: broaderstreets were needed to replace the crooked, narrow alleys overhung with dilapidated woodenhouses and shops. He also felt that redesigning the main thoroughfares of London would resultin increased and more effective transportation within the city. Shortly after Wren began working on his first drafts for the rebuilding. King Charles I issued aproclamation (15) prohibiting the construction of any house or shop within the city limits untilafter the plans were completed. When the plans were unveiled to the citizens of London,however, they were overwhelmingly rejected. The most vocal leaders of the opposition were thelandlords, who feared that such a drastic widening of the streets would reduce the amount of landavailable for development.(20) Winter was approaching; consequently, it was necessary for the rebuilding to proceed atonce. Permission was, therefore, granted for the townspeople and landlords to commencereconstruction of their houses and shops at the sites where they had been before the fire. Had theneed for immediate action not been so pressing, some kind of compromise could likely havebeen reached. This was not to be, however, and the ideas that could (25) have made London oneof the world's most beautiful cities never came to pass.11 The probable meaning of “ reduced to ashes ” (line 2) is ..........A. made unbearably hot B. discolored by the fire and smoteC. covered with ashes D. destroyed by fire12.
