Question

  1. A. Setting up temporary shelters
  2. B. Restoring power and water supplies
  3. C. Conducting community training programs
  4. D. Providing medical assistance

Answer

The correct answer is Conducting community training programs.

Explanation

The correct option is Conducting community training programs. Conducting community training programs is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to distinguish immediate and long-term responses to a tectonic hazard. This belongs to Tectonic hazards within Section A: The challenge of natural hazards, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Tectonic hazards, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.

Common mistake

Confusing Immediate and Long-term Responses

Students often mix up immediate responses (like search and rescue) with long-term responses (like rebuilding infrastructure) to tectonic hazards.

To fix this, create a clear list of examples for both immediate and long-term responses, highlighting the time frame and purpose of each response.
