1 put out: This is the right answer. To 'put out (a fire)' means to 'extinguish' or 'stop' a fire, usually by using water.
1 burst into : This is not the correct choice. To 'burst into' does not work in this context. When something 'bursts into flames' it erupts suddenly and wildly. This sentence required a verb with the opposite meaning!
1 catch: This is not the correct choice. To 'catch fire' describes the ignition or combustion of something. For example: the kitchen caught fire when we left the stove on. We are looking for a word that means 'to stop a fire' here.
1 go out: This is not the correct choice. When a fire 'goes out', it stops, usually naturally. In this sentence, the firemen stop the fire (actively). In any case, grammatically, a fireman cannot 'go out a fire'.
1 set: This is not the correct choice. To 'set (a house) on fire' is to ignite it or set flame to it intentionally. This is not usually what firemen spend three hours doing! At least, we hope not!
1 light: This is not the correct choice. To 'light a fire' is to ignite a fire. This is not usually what firemen spend three hours doing! At least, we hope not!
2 set: This is the right answer. To 'set (a house) on fire' is to ignite it or set flame to it intentionally. For example 'The protesters set fire to the national flag. They didn't know it was a crime and were all arrested.'.
2 burst into: This is not the correct choice. When something 'bursts into flames', it combusts suddenly and wildly. This sentence required a verb that means to start by accident, not necessarily to start a violent fire. Also, it's worth noting that a person can not burst something into flames. It is not a deliberate act.
2 catch: This is not the correct choice. To 'catch fire' describes the passive ignition or combustion of something. For example: the kitchen caught fire when we left the stove on. There is a difference between to 'catch' and to 'set' (passive vs. active).
2 go out: This is not the correct choice. When a fire 'goes out', it stops, usually naturally. Here we were looking for a verb that means to start a fire.
2 light: This is incorrect. To 'light a fire' means to 'start a fire', with a match or a lighter for example.
2 put out: This is the not right answer. To 'put out' a fire means to 'extinguish a fire', or to 'stop a fire deliberately', often with water. It does not work in this context.
3 catch: This is the right answer. To 'catch fire' describes the passive ignition or combustion of something. For example 'The gym caught fire when the basketball hoops were struck by lightning.'
3 burst into: This is not the correct choice. To 'burst into' does not work in this context. We say that something 'bursts into flames', not into 'fire'.
3 set: This is not the correct choice. To 'set (a house) on fire' is to ignite it or set flame to it intentionally.
3 go out: This is not the correct choice. When a fire 'goes out', it stops, usually naturally. It is not what we were looking for here.
3 light: This is not the correct choice. To 'light a fire' means to 'start a fire', with a match or a lighter, for example.
3 put out: This is the not the right answer. To 'put out' a fire means to 'extinguish a fire', or to 'stop a fire deliberately', often with water. It does not work in this context.
4 light: This is the right choice. We 'light fires' in our chimneys or when camping! It is usually done with the intention of keeping warm or cooking.
4 go out: This is not the correct choice. When a fire 'goes out', it stops, usually naturally. It is not what we were looking for here. We were looking for a verb that means to 'start' a fire.
4 put out: This is the not right answer. To 'put out' a fire means to 'extinguish a fire', to 'stop a fire deliberately'. It does not work in this context.
4 set: This is not the correct choice. To 'set (a house) on fire' is to ignite it or set flame to it, usually intentionally.
4 burst into: This is not the correct choice. To 'burst into' does not work in this context. When something 'bursts into flames' it erupts, ignites or combusts suddenly and wildly.
4 catch: This is not the correct choice. To 'catch fire' describes the passive ignition or combustion of something. We were looking for a word that means to start a fire intentionally.
5 burst into: This is correct. When something 'bursts into flames' it erupts, ignites or combusts suddenly and wildly. The word 'burst' implies sudden, strong movement of flames such as in an explosion or a crash.
5 caught: This is not the correct choice. To 'catch fire' describes the passive ignition or combustion of something. We say to 'catch fire', but to 'burst into flames'. The two expressions are similar but not synonymous.
5 light: This is not the correct choice. To 'light a fire' means to 'start a fire', with a match or a lighter for example.

5 go out: This is not the correct choice. When a fire 'goes out', it stops, usually naturally. It is not what we were looking for here. It is not what we were looking for here.
6 go out: This is correct. When a fire 'goes out', it stops, usually naturally, due to wind, rain or lack of oxygen for example.
6 put out: This is the not right answer. To 'put out' a fire means to 'extinguish a fire', to 'stop a fire deliberately'. It does not work in this context. A person 'puts out' a fire intentionally, whereas a fire 'goes out' on its own, without human intervention.
6 set: This is not the correct choice. To 'set (a house) on fire' is to ignite it or set flame to it, usually intentionally.
6 catch: This is not the correct choice. To 'catch fire' describes the passive ignition or combustion of something. We were looking for a word that describes the end of a fire.
6 light: This is not the correct choice. To 'light a fire' means to 'start a fire', with a match or a lighter for example.
6 burst into: This is not the correct choice. To 'burst into' does not work in this context. When something 'bursts into flames' it erupts, combusts, or ignites suddenly. We were looking for a verb that means the opposite of this!
