Question

which is a way that you can reduce your risk of being the victim of a house fire?
a. attend a fire prevention training course and wear protective gear.
b. use smoke detectors and attend a fire prevention training course.
c. use protective gear and keep walkways clear.
d. use smoke detectors and attend a safe driver course.

Explanation:

Smoke detectors can alert people early in case of a fire. Fire prevention training courses teach people about fire safety measures like proper handling of flammable materials, electrical safety etc. Protective gear is more relevant for firefighters or those in specific hazardous work environments rather than general household fire prevention. A safe - driver course is about road safety and not related to house fire prevention. Keeping walkways clear is a good general safety measure but when combined with only protective gear (option C), it's not as comprehensive as using smoke detectors (which detect fire) and attending a fire prevention course (which helps in preventing fires in the first place).

Answer:

B. Use smoke detectors and attend a fire prevention training course.
