Question

Read the passage and choose the correct answer from the options.
The aircraft was in danger because ___________________.

• A. it crash landed
• B. it made an emergency landing
• C. it skidded and overshot the runway
• D. it was covered in smoke

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

it skidded and overshot the runway

According to the passage, the aircraft seemed to have tried to land normally. Note the use of the phrase, ' On landing at the Madras airport, the aircraft which Sivakami was travelling in, skidded and overshot the runway'. This means upon landing, it skidded and overshot the runway. This could mean the aircraft was not in control after landing and hence in danger. Hence option C is correct.

Options A and B are incorrect as there is no mention of a crash landing or an emergency landing.

Option D is incorrect as the aircraft being covered in smoke is a consequence of the aircraft being in danger. It is not the reason for the aircraft being in danger.
