Answer:

This type of disaster is classified as a mass casualty incident.

Explanation:

Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) is the type of event that involves a large number of victims. However, there is no specific number to classify it. What is important is that the number of victims demands a response that is beyond normal standards, that is, a response that needs more resources than there are available.

The situation described in the question is an example of MCI. According to the description, several people are to be transported to local emergency departments. It is likely that the arrival of several injured people at the same time will overwhelm the system. Perhaps there will not be enough doctors, nurses, or equipment available to help everyone at the same time.

Hoochie [10]

This is a very personal question. Therefore, no one can answer it except for you. However, I can provide an example of something that makes me excited about learning, and this can serve as a guide for your own answer.

One experience that makes me genuinely excited about learning is hearing about other people's success stories. For example, when authors, scientists, astronauts and other talented and knowledgeable people talk about their careers, I am often inspired by their stories. Most of the time, these stories relate to their knowledge, and the importance of knowledge in encouraging personal growth. This makes me genuinely excited about learning because it encourages me to think that I too can achieve the things these people have achieved.

drek231 [11]

Answer:

The sentence that would best resolve this series of events in a descriptive narrative is:

In no time, I had a garden of giant golden flowers soaring toward the sky.

Explanation:

We were given the beginning, the middle, and the end of a sequence of events. Now, we are being asked to choose a resolution.<u> In literature, resolution is what comes after the climax, when the conflicts have been solved and things have worked out.</u>

<u>In the "end", we were told the speaker could already see the seedlings start to break through the freshly watered soil. For that reason, our choice for resolution must be something that takes place after that.</u> All options, except for the first one, narrate something that would take place before the seeds were planted or before they germinated. <u>The only option that narrates something that happens afterwards is the first one:  "In no time, I had a garden of giant golden flowers soaring toward the sky." That is why this is the best option for a resolution.</u>
