Question

"Find shelter in a building or a metal-topped vehicle (not a convertible), and close the windows." Based on this safety tip, what can you conclude about the safety of cars during lightning? All cars, regardless of type, will protect you from lightning. B Cars are less safe than buildings during lightning. The rubber tires of a car protect you from lightning. The metal roof of a car protects you from lightning.

Answer 1

D). The metal roof of a car protects you from lightning.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given safety tip, cars are considered safe to safeguard one from lightning but they must not be convertible cars and should be metal-topped with their windows closed. Such cars are considered safe during lightning as the metal surrounding the vehicle acts as an electric circuit and helps the lightning current to successfully reach the ground. Until then, it is advised to not touch the metal part of the car so that the current cannot be passed to you. Thus, it helps in protecting people from lightning. Rubber tires protecting you from lightning is merely a myth and hence, option D is the correct answer.
