Question

Read this excerpt from The Golem.

There is wild disorder as neighbors, children, birds, cart-peddlers, other livestock, all run into each other in the frenzy caused by the chickens.

Suddenly, the people hear a loud roar, louder even than the noise they've been making. Everyone stops – even the chickens – and looks up the street to see the source of the sound.

A deep flood races around a corner and down the street toward them, several feet high and carrying away everything in its path. People, carts, animals, birds, all go flying down the street, carried by the racing current.

What do the characters’ actions and stage directions show?

They have planned for a natural disaster.
They are unprepared for this catastrophic event.
The village has a large population of people.
The village has many animals living in its perimeter.



help please

Answer 1

They are unprepared since everything is in Chaos

Answer 2

They are unprepared for This catastrophic event.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paragraph two explains that everyone stops and looks up because of the loud noise meaning that it was sudden or else they wouldn't have paid any mind to it. Paragraph two also explains that the noises the Characters were making was pretty loud by itself. So, they must haven't been prepared for this event and the question wants us to give an answer based on the characters action.
