What were Johnny's injuries from the fire?

• A. A broken back with severe burns
• B. A burned and broken back
• C. Severe burns with no back injury
• D. Minor burns only

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that Johnny’s injuries come from two types of harm caused by the church fire: burns and a serious back injury. The text describes him as severely burned and also with a broken back, which together is best captured by saying he had a burned and broken back. This combination matters because it shows the extent of his injuries, not just one type of harm. Descriptions that mention only severe burns or only a back injury don’t fit the scene, and calling them minor burns ignores how serious the damage was.
