Q5. Think and answer.
Imagine that you have been accidentally left behind and now you are alone at home.
Q. 

If I were accidentally left behind and found myself alone at home, I would try to stay calm and not panic. First, I would look for a phone or any other means of communication, such as a tablet or computer with internet access, to contact my parents or any other trusted adult. I would explain what happened and ask for their help.
If I couldn't reach anyone, I would make sure that I have enough food and water to last for a few days. I would check the pantry, fridge, and freezer for non-perishable items and bottled water. I would also avoid any dangerous activities or situations and stay safe inside the house.
To keep myself entertained, I would read a book, watch a movie, or play a game. These activities would help me pass the time and keep my mind off the situation. If possible, I would try to reach out to a neighbor or someone else nearby for help or assistance.
