Bushfire (火山) victims have reacted angrily after being told they must present identification to get Federal Government assistance, despite most having lost everything.An open letter published in a News Limited newspaper questioned the ability of Centrelink, the government-appointed agency, to quickly distribute the payments of $1,000 per adult and $400 per child.News Ltd journalist Gary Hughes, who escaped the fires at St Andrews, said when he and others went to Centrelink on Monday they were toldthere would be no financial help unless they could produce a driver"s licence or bank statement."What"s that meant to be, some cruel joke" Mr Hughes wrote."Losing everything means just that--everything. There are many like us who didn"t have time to calmly pause to collect wallets and purses we fled our homes with wet towels over faces to avoid choking(窒息) to death."Human Services Minister Joe Ludwig has apologized for the inconvenience and says all efforts are being made to ensure people get the help they need."I don"t know the precise details but we are sorry if it did happen ," Senator Ludwig said. "We have instructed Centrelink to take the lightest possible approach in confirming identity."He says while identification was helpful, a signature would be enough, adding that about 800 applicants for assistance had already received the money. The sentence "take the lightest possible approach in confirming identity"(Paragraph 7) means that ______.

A. victims may sign a document to get new identification
