When he felt the earth quake, do you think Ignesious immediately worried about a Tsunami? Give reasons for your answers. Which sentence in the text tells you that the Ignesious family did not have any time to discuss and plan their course action after the tsunami struck?<\/h3>\n<p>A. No, Ignesious did not think about the Tsunami, when he felt the earthquake. He thought only of the earthquake. So he kept his television off the table and put it on the ground. In fact the Ignesious family did not have any time to discuss and plan their course of action after Tsunami struck. So there was only Chaos and confusion. The sentence form the page no 14 tells it clearly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the Chaos and confusion two of his children caught hold of the hands of their mother\u2019s father and mother\u2019s brother and rushed into opposite directions.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Which_words_in_the_list_below_describe_Sanjeev_in_your_opinion\"><\/span>2.

Meghnaand Almas (are) were both lucky survivors.Meghna was swept away with her parents and seventy seven other people. Everyone died except Meghna. She floated on a wooden door for two days. Relief helicopters did not see her. But as waves brought her back to the shore, she was saved.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way, by the Tsunami, all the members of the family of Almas were swept away. She climbed on a log of wood and fainted but remained on it for a long time. She was saved ultimately.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_What_are_the_different_ways_in_which_Tillys_parents_could_have_reacted_to_herbehaviour_What_would_you_have_done_if_you_were_in_their_place\"><\/span>4. What are the different ways in which Tilly\u2019s parents could have reacted to herbehaviour? What would you have done if you were in their place?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A. Tilly\u2019s parents could have ignored her instead of leading Tilly as they did. They could have scolded her and asked her to behave properly. In either case, they would have all died.<\/p>\n<p>I might have asked her not to be panicky or make a scene.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_If_Tillys_award_to_be_shared_who_do_you_think_she_should_share_it_with_her_parents_or_her_geography_teacher\"><\/span>5.

Tilly\u2019s geography teacher taught her well about atmospherechanges  sothat she saw the coming tsunami before anyone else there had any idea about it. It is evident that Tilly\u2019s award should be shared with her geography teacher.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_What_are_the_two_different_ideas_about_why_so_few_animals_were_killed_in_the_tsunami_Which_idea_do_you_find_more_believable\"><\/span>6. What are the two different ideas about why so few animals were killed in the tsunami? Which idea do you find more believable?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A. The first idea is that the animals have a sixth sense. They know when the earth is going to shake. The animals have a more acute sense of hearing, so that they can easily hear and feel the earth\u2019s vibration. The disasters are in that ways sensed before the human beings. So they run away to safer places.<\/p>\n<p>To me the first idea seems more believable. For many animals get an idea of the coming rains. Now rain has nothing to do with the sense of hearing. The nature has provided them some sixth sense which helps them get over the crisis.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_How_was_Tilly_Smith_instrumental_in_saving_her_family\"><\/span>7. How was Tilly Smith instrumental in saving her family?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A. Tilly Smith had come to Thailand in order to celebrate Christmas with her family. She and her mother saw the sea water coming to the shore as they were at beach. Her mother was wondering.<\/p>\n<p>Tilly Smith sensed that something was wrong. The geography lesson told by her geography teacher made her alert. She learned that the atmosphere changes and tides will come forward. When Tsunami hit Hawaian Island, she screamed at her family to go off the beach. Mother took the family to the hotel. Thus the whole family reached the hotel and was saved.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Describe_AlmasJaveds_familys_encounter_with_Tsunami\"><\/span>8.
