Question

It is often said that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, but this isn’t true. Go ask the forest rangers. Rangers who spend their summers as fire-fighters will tell you that every thundershower brings several bolts of lightning to their lookout stations.

A.Lightning cannot strike one place more than once

B.Lightning can hit a place two times

C.Lightning happens mostly in the summer

D. Lightning happens mostly in the summer.

Answer 1

B.Lightning can hit a place two times

Step-by-step explanation:

The main idea of the passage is that lightning can hit the same place twice, despite people thinking otherwise. It is best summarized in the first sentence of the passage.

That part explains how the saying claims lightning won’t strike at the same place more than once but then proceeds to explain why this is false. The passage says that rangers know examples of lightning striking their stations more than once, which is evidence that the claim is false and that lightning bolts do hit the same places twice.
