Question 1 of 5

Volcanoes are dangerous in various ways, and one of these is lateral
blasts, which are small eruptions that aren't part of the main thing. It
can be extremely dangerous because most focus on the top, not the
sides of it
Which of the following most effectively revises the passage for clarity and
consistency in style and tone?
O A. Of all the dangers posed by volcanoes, one of the most serious is
lateral blasts Lateral blasts are small eruptions that occur on the
sides of a mountain rather than at the top. Because people tend to
focus on the summit of a volcano, they rarely know to watch out
for lateral blasts.

O B. It is often said that lateral blasts pose a great danger to those who
would be near a volcano due to their unexpected and destructive
power. Like, if you focus on the top of a volcano, rather than its
sides, you put yourself in great danger of being caught by the
violent effects of a volcano that's erupting!

C. Lateral blasts are these crazy eruptions that occur along the sides
of volcanoes and together with other dangers from volcanoes that
threaten people living close to active volcanoes, constitute a real,
but often overlooked danger to individuals who are near the
volcano's summit.

OD. If you live anywhere near a volcano, watch out for lateral blasts.
This can save your life from them because they are often
unexpected eruptions from the sides. Don't get distracted by the
top of the volcano because they can cause great harm to you in ways that you might not expect.
