    C Advisories, Deads Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Minimal, Casualties Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Maximal, Rulers Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    • The first blank needs a word to describe the level of infrastructural damage. Since the context implies resilience, minimal (meaning very small in amount) is the most fitting word.
    • The second blank refers to the impact on people.  Casualties is a term for a person killed or injured in a war or accident. This word accurately fits the context of no attributable loss of life.
    Therefore, the sentence highlights Chile's successful disaster preparedness, leading to minimal infrastructural damage and no attributable casualties , even from powerful quakes. Admissible means able to be admitted or allowed, especially in a legal context. Advisories are official warnings or announcements.
