Jackie Robinson, 40, climbed a ladder to pull 12-year-old Tamara Barlow and her 16-month-old brother from their first-floor bedroom.

After his parents helped three of the children down the ladder, he climbed into the bedroom to get the others. “Being in the room full of smoke, it was impossible to see anything.

What made the Robinsons aware of the fire? A. The flames of the fire. B. The smell of the smoke. C. The
