The two correct answers that imply something terrible has happened offscreen are:
1. **a reaction shot showing onlookers’ expressions immediately after the event** - This technique conveys the emotional impact of the event through characters' reactions.
2. **a swell of dramatic music** - This can create a sense of tension and foreboding, implying that something significant and possibly terrible has occurred.
The other options do not effectively imply an offscreen event as strongly as these two.
