What happened to the people who were fatally injured in the accident?

• A. They survived with injuries.
• B. They died in the accident.
• C. They were evacuated.
• D. They were unhurt.

Answer: (B)

Fatally injured means injuries that cause death; the word fatally indicates death will occur or has occurred. So the people who were fatally injured died in the accident. The other options describe outcomes that don’t fit this meaning—surviving with injuries, being evacuated, or being unhurt—none of which reflect death.
