1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a dedicated incident channel the moment severity is confirmed, rather than debating the outage across five separate threads.'
We 'spin up a channel' — the standard, simple collocation for creating an incident Slack channel quickly. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Posting updates in a general channel instead of the incident one can ___ responders missing context they actually needed.'
We say scattered updates will 'leave' responders missing context — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting confusion. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ an incident commander at the top of the channel topic, rather than leaving nobody actually accountable for the call.'
We 'name a commander' — the standard, simple collocation for designating who's running an incident. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every status update against the actual current state, rather than pasting a stale message nobody's actually refreshed.'
We 'verify an update' — the standard, simple collocation for confirming a status post reflects reality. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the incident channel into the postmortem doc afterward, rather than letting the timeline vanish once the channel's actually archived.'
We 'archive a channel' — the standard, simple collocation for preserving an incident thread for later reference. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
