  2. To assist in evacuating occupants and ensure safety protocols are followed

  4. To provide catering services

Answer: B — To assist in evacuating occupants and ensure safety protocols are followed

One of the primary responsibilities of a fire warden during a drill is to assist in evacuating occupants and ensure safety protocols are followed. This role is crucial because the fire warden is tasked with ensuring that everyone in the building understands evacuation procedures and adheres to safety measures during an emergency situation. Their leadership can help minimize panic and ensure an orderly evacuation, which aligns with the overall goals of a fire drill: to prepare occupants for real-life emergencies and improve their response to dangerous situations. The responsibilities encompass not just guiding individuals to safety but also checking that protocols are observed, thereby reinforcing safety and preparedness measures that are vital in the event of an actual fire. This aspect of the fire warden's role is crucial for maintaining calm and ensuring that everyone is accounted for during a drill or real emergency.
