Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.
India is a tropical country. Here summer season is felt more prominently than any other season. Ordinarily, we begin to feel the summer heat from the month of April to the second week of June. This season is remarkable for the heat. People suffer from terrible heat right from the morning till the midnight. In the morning, people feel a gentle breeze. Then the sun rises and the horror of the heat commences. All the activities of the people are done with a little comfort only in the morning time. As the sun rises, heat is felt. People are afraid to go out. Due to terrible heat, streets and roads become lonely. Those who take up some journey in day time get tired very soon. Very often they are affected by the sun-stroke. Dehydration occurs as body sweats heavily. If we do not take plenty of water, we break down.
The mid-day is the most horrible and unbearable part of the day. Birds and other animals take rest. Sometimes, wind blows carrying hot particles of dust. Sometimes, there is no wind. There is only radiation and heat. People feel uncomfortable even at their home. They sit under the shade of trees. Still there is no relief from the heat. They frequently feel thirsty. People keep their cattle confined to the shed.
In summer season, there is the fear of fire accident. Because of the shortage of water, the seriousness of the accident is felt more. Very often fire becomes uncontrollable. It destroys both life and property. Schools and colleges remain closed for summer vacation. Government offices function in the morning only.
