Practise the standard verbs for running a realistic crisis tabletop exercise.
0 / 5 completed
1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a crisis tabletop exercise twice a year, rather than discovering our response plan's gaps only during an actual real emergency.'
We 'run an exercise' — the standard, simple collocation for conducting a simulated crisis drill. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Never rehearsing the response plan in a simulated setting can ___ a real crisis exposing gaps nobody had ever actually anticipated.'
We say an untested plan will 'leave' gaps unnoticed until a real crisis — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting risk. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a realistic scenario for the exercise, rather than a generic script that bears no resemblance to our actual likely risks.'
We 'script a scenario' — the standard, simple collocation for designing a realistic tabletop situation. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every gap the exercise reveals into a concrete action item, rather than a debrief note that quietly gets filed and forgotten.'
We 'turn a gap into an action' — the standard, simple collocation for converting a finding into follow-up work. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every participant's role clearly before the exercise starts, rather than letting people improvise responsibilities on the spot.'
We 'define a role' — the standard, simple collocation for assigning clear responsibilities in advance. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
