If Break-in Activity is usually unrelated to a thread or an adjoint thread which has a discontinuity then Resume Activity pattern highlights messages from that thread:

The difference can be seen on the following graphical representation of two traces we analyzed where in a working trace a break-in preceded resume activity whereas in a non-working trace both patterns were absent:
