○ hypothetical examples

○ narratives

○ extended examples

○ specific instances

Explanation:

• Hypothetical examples are made-up scenarios, but these are real events, so this is incorrect.
• Narratives involve telling a story with details, but these are only briefly named, not narrated.
• Extended examples are explained in detail, but these are just short mentions, so this is wrong.
• Specific instances are real, identifiable events briefly referenced, which matches the use of these real school shooting cases.
