Answer 1

The two correct answers that imply something terrible has happened offscreen are:

1. a reaction shot showing onlookers’ expressions immediately after the event - This captures the emotional response of characters, suggesting a significant event has occurred without showing it directly.

2. a swell of dramatic music - This can create an atmosphere of tension or dread, implying that something terrible has happened offscreen.

The other options do not serve as effective implications of an offscreen event in the same way.
