More than half a decade after the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that leveled haiti, serious social and public health problems tolerate, including inadequate housing, political corruption, and the spread of cholera.

Persist

Explanation:

In the statement in question, the highlighted/odd word is tolerate. The statement makes almost no sense with the use of the word tolerate. However, when tolerate is replaced with the word "persist", it gives the statement more meaning. Persist as a word means "continue to exist". Thus the statement becomes "More than half a decade after the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that leveled Haiti, serious social and public health problems PERSIST, including inadequate housing, political corruption, and the spread of cholera."

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

a term is used to describe a sudden revelation in a short story is "showing forth".
