Question

a person trapped outside during a thunderstorm should
lie in a ditch or other low - lying area.
get out of a car and take shelter under a tree.
stay away from trees, water, and tall objects.
run away from the thunderstorm as quickly as possible.

Explanation:

• Lying in a ditch (low - lying area) can be dangerous as water may accumulate there during a thunderstorm.
• Taking shelter under a tree is extremely risky as trees are tall and can attract lightning. Also, getting out of a car (which is a relatively safe place during a thunderstorm) to do so is wrong.
• Running away from a thunderstorm is not practical as thunderstorms move and it's hard to outrun them.
• Staying away from trees (which can attract lightning), water (which is a good conductor of electricity), and tall objects (which are more likely to be struck by lightning) is a correct safety measure.

Answer:

stay away from trees, water, and tall objects.
