II. Read the passage and answer the questions below (1.25 pt).
A natural disaster is a sudden event that causes significant damage or harm to people, property, and the environment.
One example is a hurricane, a powerful storm that forms over warm ocean waters. Hurricanes bring strong winds,
heavy rain, and can cause widespread flooding and destruction. When a hurricane hits land, it can uproot trees,
destroy buildings, and knock out power lines. Coastal areas are especially vulnerable because of storm surges, where
ocean water is pushed inland, flooding homes and roads. The damage can take months or even years to repair, and
people often have to evacuate their homes to stay safe. In addition to hurricanes, other types of natural disasters
include earthquakes, tornadoes, and wildfires, all of which have devastating effects on communities. Preparing for
these events, like having emergency supplies and a plan, can help reduce the impact on people's lives.
Questions:
1. What is a natural disaster?
2. Does a hurricane form over warm ocean waters?
3. Why are coastal areas at greater risk during a hurricane?
4. What are some other types of natural disasters mentioned besides hurricanes?
5. How can people prepare to minimize the impact of natural disasters?

2. The driver is driving. Don't talk to him. (while)

2. as soon as / the /started /the boys/ A fire/ left / campsite /./
