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 effectively conveys the impact of an offscreen event through the visible shock, horror, or distress of bystanders.
2. **a swell of dramatic music** - This can create a sense of impending doom or highlight the emotional weight of a terrible event that has occurred offscreen.
Other options may not effectively imply the offscreen event in the same way.
