Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B Stay inside the house.
C Get out of the water.
D Take shelter inside a car.

We must take the following precautions during thunderstorm:

• Do not take shelter under a tall tree as lightning first strikes the tall objects.
• Take shelter inside the house. Lightning will travel to the ground due to earthing of buildings and we are safe in the house.
• Take shelter inside a car. Lightning will travel along the metallic surface of the car to the ground and we are safe in the car.
• Water is a good conductor of electricity. So, if you are in water, get out and go inside a building.
