Answer 1

The correct option is A Find a large open area and stay there until shaking stops.

If we are outdoors when an earthquake strikes, we should try and find a large open area and stay there until the shaking stops. This is because, during earthquakes, there’s the danger of falling objects like electric poles, trees and buildings.
