Observation

This question was attempted by many candidates and their performance was fair.

In part (a) they did well in it. In part (b) their performance in this question was fairly good,

but some could not differentiate between natural disaster and man-made disaster. Some also

wrote different types of accident instead of stating man-made disaster.
