Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 23.
Storms are powerful weather events that bring intense rain, strong winds, and sometimes
thunder and lightning. These storms can happen in various parts of the world and are often more
frequent during certain seasons, like summer or the rainy season in tropical areas. When a storm
approaches, experts recommend staying indoors due to the high risk of floods and flying debris caused
by strong winds. Flooding is a common effect of storms, particularly in low-lying areas or places near
rivers and coastlines, leading to property damage and travel disruptions.
Thunder and lightning are also significant parts of many storms. Lightning, which can strike
trees, buildings, or power lines, poses a serious risk to people outdoors, while the sound of thunder
alerts people to the storm's strength. Due to the dangers of lightning strikes, experts advise avoiding
metal objects and electrical devices until the storm has passed.
Meteorologists use weather forecasts to warn communities about approaching storms,
allowing people time to prepare. Officials encourage families to secure loose items outside, keep
flashlights and emergency supplies ready, and follow local updates. In areas where severe storms are
more common, emergency kits with basic supplies like water, food, and first aid materials can help
people stay safe.
Storms remind us of the importance of preparation and awareness to minimize risk,
highlighting the need for reliable weather forecasts and community safety plans.
