The most likely answer is D. The text doesn't give the reader an idea of how to prepare for an emergency situation.

Here's why:

A. While the text does use some abstract language like "important" and "prepared," it still conveys the message that being ready for emergencies is essential.

B. While the image only shows a hurricane, the text mentions other types of natural disasters, suggesting the message applies to them too.

C. The image being a snapshot of a hurricane doesn't need to show what happens after. The focus is on the preparation, not the aftermath.

D. The text lacks concrete steps or actionable information on preparing for emergencies, leaving the reader unsure how to apply the general message.

Therefore, option D is the most accurate explanation of what's wrong with the text and visual aid combination.

Complete question:

"It's always important to be prepared for emergencies such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes."

What is wrong with this text and visual aid?
