People with a terminal illness will usually:

Be well in a short period of time
Be a resident for a long period
Die as a result of their illness
Recover after therapy and medication

The correct answer is: Die as a result of their illness

Individuals diagnosed with a terminal illness are generally facing a condition that is expected to result in death within a specific time frame, typically measured in months rather than years. This situation emphasizes the severity and inevitability of the progression of the illness despite any treatments or interventions that may be administered. While options suggesting possible recovery or extended residency may seem hopeful, they do not reflect the clinical reality for those with terminal conditions. The focus for these individuals often shifts from curative treatment to palliative care, prioritizing comfort and quality of life in their remaining time, thus reinforcing that death is an expected outcome of their illness.
