7. Paragraphs 8-10

Explanation:

 

The firefighter was holding the narrator's hands so tightly and wouldn't let him go because he knew the narrator would rush inside to look for his mother at any moment. He was well aware that the narrator was overwhelmed with emotion and wasn't thinking clearly at that time and that he was going to put his own life on the line to save his mother. Furthermore, the narrator acknowledges that the firefighter was correct in that he would flee if the firefighter did not hold his hands since he was so concerned about his mother's safety. Other firefighters entered the burning house to assist the narrator's mother. The firefighter who was holding the narrator assured him that the other firefighters would assist his mother in rescuing her.

 

The firefighter wrapped the narrator in a blanket and forced him to sit in his car. A fireman emerged from the burning house, with the narrator's mother alive. Despite the fact that she was alive, the fire smoke she ingested made it impossible for her to breathe properly. The narrator's mother was taken to the fire truck and given an oxygen mask by the firefighter. The narrator ran up to his mother and hugged her by the shoulders. When the narrator saw his mother saved, his heart broke with joy. The possibility of losing his mother drove away all the unpleasant sensations he had against his mother.
