Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Measures to prevent burns include not smoking in bed or when sleepy, not wearing loose-fitting clothing (e.g., bathrobes, nightgowns, pajamas) when cooking or around an open heat source, and installing a portable hand fire extinguisher in the kitchen. The remaining options are related to safely evacuating a home in case of a fire.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
The correct options provide sound advice, but relying on friends alone for advice may not be prudent while personal information should be kept in a safe place, not necessarily on your person.
