E. Under the coffee table.

Explanation
During an earthquake, it is important to choose a safe shelter that can provide protection from falling objects and collapsing structures. The options "Under a school desk," "Under the kitchen table," and "Under the coffee table" are all suitable choices as they can offer some level of cover and reduce the risk of being injured by debris. However, sitting on a couch or swinging on a swing does not provide adequate protection and may increase the chances of getting hurt during an earthquake.

  10 minutes
- B.

- C.
  
  30 minutes
- D.

Correct Answer
B. As little as five minutes

Explanation
A fire can spread through a house as quickly as five minutes. Fires are known to spread rapidly due to the presence of flammable materials in homes, such as furniture, curtains, and other household items. Additionally, the lack of fire-resistant construction materials can contribute to the rapid spread of fire. Once a fire starts, it can quickly engulf an entire room and move on to adjacent areas, making it crucial to act swiftly and evacuate the premises as soon as possible.

However, video games are not necessary for survival and do not contribute to the immediate needs during emergencies.
