Which of the following are examples of "unforeseen circumstances"?
(Select all the correct choices from the list below. There may be more than one).
This is an incorrect choice. "Inevitable" and "unforeseen" are antonyms: they share opposite meanings. An "inevitable (divorce)" is one which cannot be avoided or is sure to happen.
This is not an example of an "unforeseen circumstance". A film with famous actors and a director is usually "expected" to be successful. An example of something "unforeseen" or "unexpected", is a film with famous actors and a director which FAILS to make money.
This is a correct choice. "Unforeseen" is synonymous with the term "unanticipated" or "unexpected": it is used to describe an event which arrives without warning, like an unexpected death. Herbert says "there were some unforeseen circumstances", which means that something happened that he wasn't expecting.
This is an incorrect choice. The term "oyster" might be a nice definition for this type of person.
This is a correct choice. "Unforeseen" is synonymous with the term "unpredicted" or "unexpected". It is used to describe an event which arrives without warning, such as weather conditions which have not been forecast. Other example: The Edward Moon concert was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

1 downpour: A "downpour" is heavy rain which falls all at once. The word is composed of "down", the direction from which the rain falls, and "pour", a term which describes flowing liquid: "Please could you pour me some wine? My glass is empty".
2 flooding: A flood is an inundation of land which is normally dry. As a verb, "to flood" describes the act of inundation. "To flood" can also be used figuratively to describe a heavy concentration or outpouring of something. Example: We've been flooded with phone calls since our commercial was televised yesterday.
