What does "imminent" imply about an event or situation?

Remote
Delayed
Soon
Unexpected

The correct answer is: Soon

The term "imminent" indicates that an event or situation is about to happen very soon or is impending. It conveys a sense of urgency and immediacy, suggesting that the event is on the verge of occurring and that attention or action may be required promptly. In the context of scenarios faced by corrections officers, recognizing imminent threats or actions can be crucial for ensuring safety and security. The other choices do not align with this meaning: "remote" implies that something is far away or not likely to happen soon, "delayed" suggests a postponed timeline for an event, and "unexpected" indicates an event that is not anticipated, which contrasts with the idea of something imminent being foreseeable and impending.
