PASSAGE
During a community meeting, a city official says: "We need to prioritize the most exigent cases in our housing assistance program before we can help anyone else." A resident raises her hand and says, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that word. Could you help me understand what you mean?" The official responds, "Think about it this way — if someone's roof collapsed last night, they'd be at the top of our list."
Based on the official's explanation and the context of the conversation, what does the word exigent most likely mean, and which clarification strategy did the resident use most effectively?
