Answer:
Sodium is kept in kerosene because it is a highly reactive metal which reacts vigorously with air and immediately catches fire. So, in order to prevent any damage it is kept in kerosene.

Sodium is a very reactive metal. It is kept in kerosene to prevent it from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture. If this happens, it will react with the moisture present in air and form sodium hydroxide which is a highly exothermic reaction.
