Question 7 • 25-26 6th Six Weeks TX-College Prep English

Which theme are you likely to encounter only in a text responding to Hurricane Katrina and not in a text responding to 9/11?

Answer
A
the use of technology to communicate in a crisis
B
the aftermath of a large-scale disaster
C
uncertainty at how to respond to dangerous situations
D
environmental issues following a natural disaster

Explanation

Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster that caused flooding and other environmental problems, so a response to it may address environmental issues. The September 11 attacks were not a natural disaster, making that theme less likely in a text responding to 9/11. The other themes—crisis communication, disaster aftermath, and uncertainty about how to respond—could apply to both events.
