Explanation:

Question 2:

To determine the best answer, we analyze each option:

• "physical": A home being a safe physical environment makes sense as physical safety (e.g., structural safety, freedom from physical hazards) is a core aspect of a home's safety.
• "thermal": While thermal comfort is important, "thermal environment" is too narrow to describe the overall safety of a home.
• "territorial": "Territorial" relates to territory or ownership, which is not relevant to describing a home's safety environment.
• "sterile": A home doesn't need to be sterile (free from all microorganisms) to be safe; this is an extreme and inappropriate term for a home environment.

So, "physical" is the most appropriate choice.

To find the unsafe place during severe weather, we analyze each option:

• "a basement": Basements are generally safe during severe weather like tornadoes as they are below ground and offer protection.
• "a room with an exterior wall": During severe weather (e.g., tornadoes, hurricanes), exterior walls are vulnerable to damage from flying debris or strong winds, so a room with an exterior wall is not a safe place.
• "an in - ground storm shelter": These are specifically designed for safety during severe weather.
• "a safe room built of steel and concrete": These are built to withstand severe weather conditions.

So, a room with an exterior wall is not a safe place.

A. physical
