Pompeii

Alright, I am taking this hard english class and I have to write an essay. I have to answer these 10 questions in the essay and I was wondering if anyone knew the answer to them? So here they are:

1. Were any civilians able to escape?
2. When did Mr. Vesuvius erupt?
3. What was the population of Pompeii at the time?
4. How long had Pompeii been a city?
5. Did anyone outside of Pompeii know that the eruption was coming?
6. What government system did Pompeii have set up at the time?
7. When was Pompeii discovered?
8. Was there any other possible way for them to escape the eruption?
9. How much ash covered the city after the eruption was done?
10. Was anything important going on when Mt. Vesuvius erupted?
