Question 1 / 3During PE the sky darkened and thunder rolled. Elif was standing in the open. Her teacher said "let's go inside." Elif asked: "Is this a disaster?" "Strong wind and thunder can be a storm. In a storm we go inside. We stay away from windows." Elif heard the windows rattle. "I wanted to run in the open," she said. Her teacher smiled: "When thunder booms, we go inside. We also don't wait under a tree." Elif wrote this in her mind: Thunder = go inside, stay away from windows.
