Question

a) For the people of Pompeil, the morning of 24th August in the year 79 AD was like any other. ____________ Shopkeepers and customers were chatting and laughing, young boys were going to school and slaves were carrying water to their masters homes. Everything seemed normal, but disaster was just around the corner

b) There had been earthquakes, the ground had risen up and some underground springs had no water. ___________ For the people of Pompeil, these were worrying signs, but they didn't know what they meant.
They didn't know they were living at the foot of a volcano. As modern scientists have discovered, Vesuvius hadn't erupted in the previous 2,000 years. That afternoon, when the catastrophe hit, people in Pompeil were not prepared.

c) Pompeii was unlucky. Usually the wind blew away from the city and out over the sea. But on that day, the wind was blowing straight over Pompeii. The eruption lasted twenty-four hours and it buried Pompeil under four to six metres of ash and rocks. ____________ When it was rediscovered and archaeologists began digging, it gave us much information about daily life in the Roman Empire.
