why does dry cells become dead even if they are left unused?

Solution

Dear student!
A dry cell contains some internal resistance which starts to corrode the cell content and there occurs a voltage drop or reduction though if the cell is not in used. So, after a long time the continuous corrosion finally finishes the life of the cell and it becomes dead.
