Which of the following is the correct completion of the sentence? "Once a hurricane is identified, it is given a name from a list drawn up by the United States Weather Service, a list that is reused after a few years, ________"?
Explanation
The correct answer is: Omitting the names of the worst hurricanes.
The list of hurricane names is reused after a few years, but the names of the worst hurricanes are omitted to avoid sensitivity and respect for the victims of those hurricanes.
This completion provides a clear and logical reason for reusing the list with some exceptions.
