Question

Say whether the following are true or false.
Meghna was saved by a relief helicopter.

Answer 1

Hint: In the story "tsunami" written by Sonali Deraniyagala which tells the story of various survivors and victims of the tsunami that affected Thailand and parts of India such as Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Meghna was 13 years old at the time. Along with her parents and seventy-seven other boys, she was swept away. She clung to a wooden door for two days, floating on top of it.

Complete answer:
A tsunami is a long, powerful sea wave that is triggered by an earthquake or other natural disaster. Thailand and parts of India, including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Tamil Nadu Coast, were hit hard by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. The quake was the third most powerful ever reported.

Meghna, a 13-year-old teen, was among the 77 people swept away with her parents. She swam for two days in the water, clutching a wooden door 11 times. She saw a relief helicopter flying overhead, but they didn't notice her. Finally, she was discovered dazed walking along the beach.

So, the above statement is False, as Meghna saw the relief helicopters in the sky, but they didn't notice her. A wave dragged her to the water's edge.

Note: Students learn from “The Tsunami” that a tsunami is a natural disaster that causes significant damage and loss of life and property. We learned about difficult life lessons and reassuring details of determination, bravery, strength, and survival in each story. In the difficult struggle of endurance and regeneration, one should demonstrate acts of bravery, compassion, and duty.
