    Suppose you are in a car and there is a thunderstorm. Which of the following is the best way to protect yourself from possible harm?

    A)  Remaining in the car

    B)                         Getting out of the car and taking cover under the car

    C)                         Running to a nearby tree

    D)                         Getting out and standing under an electric pole

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    During thunderstorm and lightning, no open place is safe. If you are travelling by car, you are safe inside with the windows and doors of the vehicle closed. The rubber tyres of the cars are non- conductors, so you will be safer inside the car. All other options (tree, pole) have greater chances of electrocution. (B) house or a building is a safe place too.)
