Question Question 12
The weather department has predicted that a thunderstorm is likely to occur on a certain day. Suppose you have to go out on that day. Would you carry an umbrella? Explain.
I will not carry an umbrella during a predicted thunderstorm. A thunderstorm is accompanied by lightning. The lightning might travel along the metallic rod of the umbrella and cause an electric shock to the person holding it, making it an unsafe choice in such weather conditions.
