1. Sahil is going to a wedding with his parents. He is sitting on the front seat of the
car. His father asks him to fasten his seatbelt. Why do you think his father has
asked him to do so?

2.We must always wash our hands before giving first aid to any person. Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Because:

Among drivers and front-seat passengers, seat belts reduce the risk of death by 45%, and cut the risk of serious injury by 50%. Seat belts prevent drivers and passengers from being ejected during a crash. People not wearing a seat belt are 30 times more likely to be ejected from a vehicle during a crash.

2.Because our hands might be carrying germs in the form of bacteria, viruses and many more microbes. If hands are left uncleaned then these microbes might get entry into the wounds and other scratches during giving first aid and cause infections.
