disabilities, the elderly, or young children, and ensure they are safely
evacuated.

Q. 19 Text wrapping is a feature used to control how text flows around an image in 4
a document. When you insert an image into a document, text wrapping
determines the way the text adjusts and positions itself relative to the image.
It plays a crucial role in document formatting, providing both aesthetic appeal
and readability.
Text wrapping feature are available under the Format menu. LibreOffice
Writer has the following types of images wrapping within texts:
• None: It enables to place the text above and below the Image.
• Parallel: This option is used if we want the image to be surrounded by text
based on the image size.
• Optimal (default): By default, optimal page wrap is applied to the inserted
images. Texts are aligned at either the left or right of the inserted image
based on the image size and available position on both sides of the image.
• Before: This option is used if the image is on the right side and the text is
on the left side.
• After: This option is used if the image is on the left side and the text is on
the right side.
• Through: This option places the image on top of the text.

 Some basic fire safety rules which every organisation must follow to avoid the
devastating incident:
• The first few minutes of a fire are crucial so automatic fire alarm systems
such as smoke and heat detectors should be part of the fire Safety plan.
This will save the place from turning into a tragic spot.
• Sufficient Fire escape route of the fire hit area should be given utmost
importance. The employees should be trained and instructed to guide the
others on how to escape through the fire escape route.
• The organisation must ensure that there are enough exits through the
building and are in the right places with proper exit plans installed on its
way with proper directions and sign symbols.
a) The workplace should have one or more people in charge of monitoring
fire safety and assisting with evacuations in the event of a fire. They
may be called Fire Safety Guards.
