English

01. Read the following text and answer the questions in complete sentences.
Home safety is of utmost importance as it ensures the well-being and
protection of individuals and families within their own living spaces. Creating a
safe home environment involves implementing various measures to prevent
accidents, injuries, and potential hazards. One significant reason for prioritizing
home safety is to safeguard the physical health and well-being of family members.
By identifying and addressing potential risks, such as falls, electrical hazards, fire
hazards, and poisoning risks, homeowners can significantly reduce the likelihood of
accidents and injuries. This is especially crucial for households with children or
elderly individuals who may be more vulnerable to accidents.
Additionally, home safety plays a critical role in preventing property damage
and loss. Implementing fire safety measures, such as installing smoke detectors,
having fire extinguishers readily available, and practicing fire escape plans, can
help minimize the impact of fire incidents and potentially save lives.
