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

1. **A swell of dramatic music** - This can create tension and suggest that something significant and possibly terrible has occurred, even if it is not shown on screen.

2. **A reaction shot showing onlookers' expressions and immediately after the event** - This technique captures the emotional response of characters, which can strongly imply that a disturbing event has taken place off screen.

The other options do not effectively convey that something terrible has occurred.
