Question

Read the following paragraph from the introduction (paragraphs 1-3.)

Because they erupt into water instead of air, submarine volcanoes behave quite differently than
volcanoes on land. For instance, it is uncommon for submarine volcanoes to have explosive
eruptions. The weight of the water above them creates very high pressure. Instead of explosive
eruptions, the volcanoes usually produce what is known as passive lava flows along the seafloor.
Most submarine eruptions do not disturb the ocean surface.
What conclusion is BEST supported by the paragraph above?
(A)
Submarine volcanoes have not produced explosive eruptions.
Jubmari
(В)
Submarine eruptions do not alter the landscape of the seafloor.
(C)
The majority of volcanoes are located above sea level.
Few submarine eruptions have a destructive impact.
(D)

Answer 1

The paragraph supports the conclusion that submarine eruptions do not alter the landscape of the seafloor (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

The paragraph states that submarine volcanoes behave differently than volcanoes on land because they erupt into water instead of air. Due to the weight of the water above them, submarine volcanoes usually produce passive lava flows along the seafloor instead of explosive eruptions.

Additionally, the paragraph mentions that most submarine eruptions do not disturb the ocean surface. Based on this information, the BEST conclusion supported by the paragraph is that submarine eruptions do not alter the landscape of the seafloor (option B).
