Passage V

If you are caught in an open field and see the flash of lightning and hear the sound of thunder at practically the same instant, take precautions immediately. Throw away any metallic object you may have. Lie flat on the ground. Do not try to run for shelter until the electrical disturbances have subsided entirely. Remember that poor shelter is worse than none. The big tree standing alone will keep the rain off you, but may draw lightning towards it. If a thunder storm begins when you are swimming or out in a boat, head for the shore at once. There is an old fable that lightning never strikes open water. May bathers who relied on that belief have lost their lives. Mostly those struck by lightning are likely to be farmers, holidays makers, fishermen or golfers.

A) go swimming                 

B) walk in the streets

C) work indoors                  

D) spend their time outdoors
