Answer 2

Explanation:

• During an earthquake, using elevator instead of staircase may become a deathtrap for you.
• An elevator runs using electricity power. During an earthquake, power may fall down and you can get stuck helplessly or the elevator’s rails may buckle or get entangled, or the emergency brake may get obstructed.
• Eventually, if the aftershocks occur and the building collapse, you will remain stuck and probably may die.
• Also, an elevator can carry a limited weight. A staircase can handle the weight of the whole building and you will get time to escape.
• Therefore, we should use a staircase instead of an elevator during an earthquake.
