Impactpresent13/25
Final assessment
Majority 13 of 25 treat the taken electric scooter as stated property harm. Twelve treat that wording as restating burglary.
What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
