What is the official report of the deaths in the earthquake?
Rescue efforts are continuing after Monday’s powerful earthquake in the central Philippines that left dozens of people dead or missing. Army teams were carrying out search operations, and police had been deployed to prevent looting. But damaged roads and bridges added to challenges faced by rescue workers and the transport of aid and supplies.
The 6.7 magnitude earthquake hit 70km north of Dumaguete city on Negros island.
As of 08:00 local time, an official report put the death toll at 15 confirmed dead including two children, 44 reported missing and 52 injured.
One local report on Monday put the number of dead at 43, including many people killed in a landslide in the badly-hit coastal area of Guihulngan.
But this report has not yet been confirmed by the central authorities. Telecommunications have been cut in many areas.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology issued a tsunami alert for the area, but had lifted it by 14:30.
In the town of Guihulngan, reports said some houses had been completely buried by landslides, and the market and court house were also damaged.
Nine bridges were damaged in Negros Oriental, with four no longer passable, said Governor Roel Degamo.

选项
A、It caused landslides.
B、It caused a tsunami.
C、Bridges were damaged.
D、Telecommunications were cut.
答案
B
解析
辨别题。新闻中提到地震发生后,菲律宾火山地震局发布的海啸预警,但14:30就解除了,因此可见并未发生海啸:…issued a tsunami alert for the area,but had lifted it by 14:30。其余选项的事件都在新闻中提及。因此答案为B。
