What will you do if World War 3 happens?

Kiss your loved ones and everything you know about life today goodbye. IF you survived the initial exchanges you would face death daily in a harsh environment with little or no food, wrecked ecology, anarchy, raging fires, no power, no infrastructure, no finances, and no communications. There’s not much that can be done - if you have a chance you could try to flee as far from humanity as possible and teach yourself how to live off the land with no food, medicine, or shelter. Even then the ravaged environment would be too dark from dirt, smoke, and ash for sunlight to penetrate enough for crops to grow.

<h2>The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. The brain is located in the head, usually close to the sensory organs for senses such as vision. The brain is the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body. In a human, the cerebral cortex contains approximately 10–20 billion neurons, and the estimated number of neurons in the cerebellum is 55–70 billion . Each neuron is connected by synapses to several thousand other neurons. These neurons communicate with one another by means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body targeting specific recipient cells.</h2>
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Based on its context, what do you think the phrase in droves means in paragraph 2?
Once reading the context of the article, we can understand the term "in droves" as "in large quantities" or "many at the same time."
We are talking about the article called <em>"Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World,"</em> written by Jane McGonigal.
Paragraph 2 says: "They are abandoning it in droves-a few hours here, an entire weekend there..."
That term helps convey the author's message and intended tone in that the author expresses in a colloquial way the number of people or gamers that abandon reality, the day to day common living, to enter the virtual reality of video games.
