Q1.
Encircle the correct option. What should you do before crossing a road? a) Run quickly b) Stop, look right, then left, again right c) Close your eyes
Answer
b) Stop, look right, then left, again right
Rule 1 says exactly this: “Look right, then left, again right to ensure that no vehicles are coming. Cross only when it’s safe.”
Why the other two are wrong:
a) Run quickly — Rule 2 says, “Never run across the road. It’s safer to walk calmly!”
c) Close your eyes — we cross the road by looking. With our eyes shut we cannot see a single vehicle.
Note about the book: This is the same question as question 1 of Let us Think on the same page. There you write the answer; here you circle it.
Q2.
Encircle the correct option. Where should you walk near the road? a) On the footpath b) On the road c) In the middle of the vehicles
Answer
a) On the footpath
Rule 3 says, “Footpaths are meant for pedestrians. Always walk on them and stay away from moving vehicles.”
Why the other two are wrong:
b) On the road — the road is for vehicles. A person walking on it is in the way of moving traffic.
c) In the middle of the vehicles — this is the most dangerous place of all. The drivers cannot see a child between two vehicles.
Q3.
Encircle the correct option. Why should you avoid using headphones on the road? a) It looks bad b) It makes you run faster c) It can distract you from traffic sounds
Answer
c) It can distract you from traffic sounds
Rule 6 says, “avoid using headphones or mobile phones while walking near traffic. These can distract you from traffic sounds.”
Why the other two are wrong:
a) It looks bad — this is not the reason. The rule is about safety, not about looks.
b) It makes you run faster — headphones do not change how fast you run. And Rule 2 tells us not to run on the road at all.
Why distract is the key word: To distract means to take your mind away from what you are doing. On a road your mind must be on the traffic. Music takes it away — and it also hides the horn you need to hear.
