Answer 1

The most likely prediction to happen due to solar energetic particles during a solar radiation storm is:

Radio communications at high latitudes will be blocked.

Solar radiation storms can affect the ionosphere, which in turn can disrupt high-frequency radio communications, especially in polar regions. While other effects can occur, such as inaccuracies in GPS and impacts on satellites, the blocking of radio communications is a more immediate and observable consequence of solar energetic particle events.
