Answer

The reverberating circuit is likely to fire longest after the initial stimulus has ceased.

Work Step by Step

Converging, diverging, and parallel circuits depend on input coming from one direction from one source, or one set of sources. In a reverberating circuit collateral neurons loop back to a neuron earlier in the path to renew the stimulus over and over . It is thus able to be propagated longer because of these renewals.
