Answer:
A) We wear cotton clothes while working in the kitchen because cotton is a poor conductor of heat and electricity and if we wear synthetic clothes, the clothes will catch fire as synthetic is a good conductor of heat.So, cotton clothes are more preffered.
b) You should never throw water on an electrical fire because water conducts electricity and you could be electrocuted. ... If you don't have a fire extinguisher, you can use baking soda to extinguish an electrical fire.
c) When a persons who is on fire runs the air surrounding him appears to flow, this supplies more oxygen (from flowing air) to the fire, which supports burning and causes the flames to grow, hence a person should not run
d) Snake bites should always be taken seriously. Though some are dry bites, which aren't as dangerous and will likely cause some swelling, others are venomous bites, which, if not treated carefully and quickly, can result in death. Always seek immediate medical attention if you've been bitten by a snake, as it could be a matter of life and death.
