Question

Garima was returning to home from office. Suddenly she saw thunderstorms happening around. She called Sushweta to take advice from her on what she should do. Which of the following(s) should be the advice(s) given by Sushweta?

• A. Take shelter under an umbrella having metallic end
• B. Get out of water logged areas
• C. Take shelter under metallic shades
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Get out of water logged areas

Lightning strikes on metallic surfaces and high rise structures. Therefore, we should stay away from metallic structures.
Also, rain water helps reduce the resistance of skin, helping it to conduct electricity. So staying in waterlogged areas can be hazardous.
