Which item is NOT typically included in an emergency kit?

• A. Water.
• B. Flashlight.
• C. A decorative ornament.
• D. Cash.

Answer: (C)

Emergency kits are built around practical items that directly support survival and safety during disruptions to regular services. Water is essential for hydration and basic needs, a flashlight provides lighting and can aid in signaling or navigation in the dark, and having cash can be important when electronic payments or card systems are down. A decorative ornament, while pleasant in normal times, does not help meet any immediate emergency needs and adds unnecessary weight and space that could be used for more critical items. It may also be fragile and vulnerable to damage during transport. So the item that wouldn’t typically be included is the decorative ornament because it offers no practical value in an emergency.
