I marked those parts in red because I didn't understand them, and I still don't.

- "[FONT=&#23435]In it kept is v.i" - what does this mean?
- "

[FONT=&#23435]t is a good one, isn't it?" - what is a good one? A good what?[/FONT]

[FONT=&#23435]- "[/FONT]
[FONT=&#23435]t is a good one, isn't it?" - what is a good one? A good what?[/FONT]
v.i.means intranstive verb as we uesed in dictionaries. "It" refers to the original sentence.In short, can we say:" [FONT=&#23435]After the fire, the door kept standing."?Thank you very much![/FONT]
 
That doesn't sound very natural.

I would suggest something like "...the door was still standing."
