Correct answer: When a tornado strikes.
Answer options
- AOnce lightning has struck
- BWhen an earthquake hits
- CWhen a tornado strikes Correct
Why
For most severe hazards, such as an earthquake or lightning, the bus itself is usually the safest place for students. A tornado is different, because no one can predict where it will go and the bus cannot outrun it, so students should be moved off the bus to shelter.
