← Language & CommunicationIf an air traffic controller says, "Traffic is heavy. Delta 747, given your low fuel, proceed directly to runway 22," which consequence most likely follows regarding information structure?
A)Fuel state is topic, route is comment
B)Fuel state is given, route is new✓
C)Traffic is given, fuel state is new
D)Route is given, traffic is new
💡 Explanation
The fuel state is presented as 'given' because it's pre-existing information influencing the immediate instruction; therefore, the route instruction is 'new' information, rather than the fuel state also being new, because it is a known constraint prompting immediate action.
