QI. Read the passage given below and answer the questions
that follow .

One rainy night, there was a lot of thunder. Amelia got scared of
the loud noise. She woke up and went to her window to see
outside. She saw a white light emerge from the clouds and
touch the earth. She was very surprised to see this. She ran to
her parent's room .
She asked her father, "What is that daddy?" He said, "That's
called lightning Amelia". And thunder is the sound caused by
lightning. Amelia heard every word her father spoke. She also
asked, "Why does lightning come before thunder?" He
answered, “Because light travels faster than sound". Amelia
listened carefully.
She felt that she had learnt something new. She was no longer
scared, and quickly went to sleep. Next day at school, she had a
new story to tell her friends. When she was narrating last
night's discovery to her school friends, they listened as carefully
as she had the night before. They were as amazed as her.
