Question 1 / 3The bus stopped. A tanker was tipped ahead. The driver waved "stay back." There was a faint smell. Deniz asked: "Why aren't we going closer?" The teacher said: "This vehicle may be carrying a dangerous load. We don't walk closer to look. We don't touch any liquid." "We stay away. We tell a grown-up. We don't walk toward the smell — we go the other way." Deniz wrote this in their mind: Tanker crash = move away, don't go look.
