Question

Why is it advisable not to shut all the doors and windows during a storm?

• A. To cool the house.
• B. To avoid roof from flying off.
• C. To avoid more carbon dioxide from entering the room.
• D. To make more water enter the house.

Answer 1

The correct option is B To avoid roof from flying off.

During the storm, the speed of wind increases due to which low pressure is created outside the house whereas pressure inside the house is very high. Hence, to avoid the roof getting blown away due to this pressure difference, doors and windows should not be shut during storms.
