Answer 2

: Required Answer

$\implies$Tilly could foresee that a tsunami had struck them. Seeing her frightened and getting hysterical, her parents understood that something serious is likely to happen. They took both their daughters away from the beach to the swimming pool at the hotel. Seeing them, a number of other tourists also left the beach along with them. Tilly also shouted to everyone around in the beach to run for safety.

However, Tilly’s parents could have also reacted in a different manner by not paying heed to her frightened behaviour. If they would have tried to calm her down, probably if they would have got washed away along with the tsunami waves.

If I would have been in a similar situation, I would have carefully listened to Tilly and realised that a danger was approaching and immediately rush to the hotel by running away from the beach.
