• C. Playing outside.
• D. Staying inside a car with windows and doors closed .

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A Staying inside the house.
D Staying inside a car with windows and doors closed .

During lightning or a thunderstorm, staying inside the house or a building of a low height is considered safe. A playground is not considered safe because, the chances of you getting stuck by lightning are more. If you are inside a car, staying inside the car with doors and windows closed is considered safe. Also as water is a good conductor of electricity, taking a bath during a thunderstorm is not safe as you may receive an electric shock.
