Answer:
D
Explanation:
By naming the destruction of bridges, houses, and roads, the text specifies what types of infrastructures can be destroyed by storms. Only saying that weather is damaging does perhaps conjure up images of flooded streets and toppled trees, but it does not make a direct enough reference to the costly impact of strong storms.
It is much more precise to name expensive losses associated directly with the flooding, landslides and wind gusts generated by the tropical storms.
The main conflict is defeating the storm.
Actually a convergence of three storms onto one Geographic location. Yikes!
Other conflicts include the shrimper's need to make more money by taking one last trip out to sea even though it was the dangerous season. The shrimper's wives obviously don't want them to go out again as they worry and don't like to be alone.
The shrimp boat owner encourages one last trip as he wants more money as well.
The shrimpers risk losing their jobs if they refuse to make the last trip.
The suffix is -ing.
Example:
He came and was met by the city's people.
The coming of the man was well-received.
I write for a living.
My writing makes me a lot of money.
