To determine the answer, we should look at the text itself and consider the author's possible intentions. In this case, the author chose to organize "Forest Fire" in chronological order, meaning events are presented in the order they occurred.
Option A suggests that the author wanted to create suspense, but organizing the story chronologically doesn't necessarily achieve this.
Option C suggests that the author may have been concerned about leaving out details, but without additional information from the text, we cannot conclude that this was the primary reason for choosing chronological order.
Option D suggests that the author wanted readers to compare and contrast the fire and the mudslide. However, if the story is organized in chronological order, it might not provide the opportunity for a direct comparison of these events.
Option B states that the author wanted readers to understand the causes of the fire. By organizing the story in chronological order, the author can present events leading up to the fire and provide a clear understanding of its causes.
Therefore, based on the given options, option B is the most plausible answer. The author likely chose to organize "Forest Fire" in chronological order in order to help readers understand the causes of the fire.
